Brother Death Poem

Missing My Big Brother

My big brother died 2 years ago. One night I was feeling really upset and just wrote this and forgot about it. It still doesn't feel real. Love you big brother!
I still have a hard time letting go. I don't know how. We both suffered from depression though and I feel bad that I still find the strength to fight and he didn't.

Forever Wanted

They lied.
They lied when they said time heals all wounds,
Or maybe there hasn't been enough time away from you.

Almost two years to the day,
yet I still find myself keeping tears at bay.
Why did you go? Why couldn't you stay?
You were just coming around,
You seemed okay.

Yet, I know deep down that feeling you felt,
I often feel it too and left with a remorseful head,
Full of regret,
I could have said something,
I did nothing instead.

I've learned a lot while you've been away.
I was too late,
I should have never received a call that day,
A life full of guilt because my mind mended,
after you chose to escape a life unfinished.

I couldn't help it,
Our genetics tell all,
you see,
Those months I had been suffering,
just like you,
I begged for it to leave.

My life continued while yours departed,
Waking day to day,
to a photo of your smiling face,
with that everlasting tear,
that may never be tamed.
