I Am My Brother's Keeper

Tue, 12/06/2016 - 18:41 -- EmmaniJ

Big Brother 

One to protect 

One to care

One to laugh with and at

One to adore 

Loved to the core

One to look up to

Ten years divided yet so close 

Then all of sudden nine shots ended it all 

For a bond was broken 

Now a heart aches 

Left all alone in this cold world 

Lost 

Longing for love 

Longing for comfort 

A relationship broken and torn apart just like that 

Being forced to go on 

Wihtout your other half 

What is a young girl supposed to do 

Unhappy and abandoned 

She's insisted to move on 

Now she stands alone 

Not really sure about what to do 

But comforts her mother and nephew

 While she remembers her brother 

She will speak his name proudly

And wear his name boldly 

SHE IS HER BROTHER'S KEEPER
