Drink and Drive
You were my brother, my only best friend
You promised me you’d be there until the very end
I guess you kept that promise, but why did you have to go
How could you not know that drinking and driving was a very wrong road
It’s not fair that you went to drink and it cost me my life
Do you know when I got that call it felt like a knife
Right now, I want you and miss you so much
More than anything at all I need your soft touch
I still remember the look, the laugh, the stare
When you smiled at me and told me you’d always be there
So where are you now when I need you the most
How come you had to go as soon as we got close
Why does God always have to do this to me
Is he trying to teach me something or is it beyond what I can see
I know it was for a reason and he’ll make it all alright
But why can’t I have you for just for one last night
And as much as I wish it would, the past can’t be erased
But I guess at least I know you’re in a better, safer place
You meant everything to me and I promise you still do
And a promise is a promise, so you know that what I’m saying is true
Just look over me and please try to keep me safe
And help me make it through this dark and scary place
So good bye my brother, my greatest best friend
You’ll still mean the world to me until the very end

nice job, i loved your poem. it makes me wish i wasn't always fighting with my brother. earlier today, we were shopping and my brother kept making me laugh and smile (alot more than he usually does). he really is one of my best friends. this poem is an inspiration.

When using punctuation though, it's best to be consistent. Either use commas, periods, and etc., or don't. My professor Cate Marvin told me this...look her up on google. Read some of her work. The best way to become a better poet is to read more poetry...perferably by someone credible. I'm sure there're plenty you'll like.
As a writer we'll write some pretty horrible things before we strike gold. I know you have potential because the emotional quality, and desire to communicate are obviously there.
