Bye Brother

One phone call, my heart stops.

Bye Brother.

My ears ring, and my tears flow.

Bye Brother.

The world caves in, voices fade.

Bye Brother. 

No! No! No!

This can't be happening, answer your phone!

Bye brother.

Mom screams, I'm numb.

What's going to happen, how will life go on?

Please answer the phone, pick up! Pick up!

Bye Brother.

Police, detectives, caskets, wake.

Burial, repast, company, wait.

Bye Brother.

You still cross my mind, as justice has not been served.

Until the day that man is punished, my pain will not be purged.

Bye Brother.
