A Prayer For My Brother
A smile,
small yet so big,
far
yet still touches me.
a face that sends impressions of my very own,
chocolate brown.
eyes deep,
hazel mingling with the depths of the hues as black as night.
confused and broken.
but that smile.
gone.
but not forever?
dancing carelessly,
the burden of loneliness
did not weigh us down
could not weigh us down.
an aimless giggle echoing in an empty room,
i was not there to hear it.
I didn’t know,
I didn’t.
How could I have known?
That it’d be the last time,
viewing a reflection of my sanity?
he,
he who is now in paradise,
who is no longer burdened
with the thought of us that loved,
cared,
me?
I will always miss,
always remember
my dearest brother.
this void,
can never be replaced by the likes of anyone but he,
my sanity,
my humanity,
my happiness.
Always and forever.
yet; forever is too patient for my liking.
a prayer for my brother.
9 years and counting.
