too soon
TOO SOON
So they took me to the place of constant sleep
only dreams to keep me company
i saw a picture of my mother
when she was so much younger
next to a clock that had stopped
no need for time any longer
it won't make you stronger
or free you from the shock
and despite sadness and gloom
i've realized its just too soon
then they flung me back to reality
where my dreams drifted to melancholy
i still remember what i saw
my father at the door
a rope around his neck
his feet off the floor
a note "i love you all"
left amongst the wreck
and despite sadness and gloom
i've realized its just too soon
they brought me to a place near nowhere
and said it was where i belonged
i saw my brother and my sister
playing mrs and mr
but they would never grow old
they were on the tracks
when the train attacked
still leaves me feeling cold
and despite sadness and gloom
i've realized its just too soon

Is this written for performance or the page? I would query the chosen ryhme scheme if for the page - I wonder whether it is suited to such subject matter, but it may work better as a perfromnce style 'rant'
