Strength
My cry tears for you, every day
not because of hate or disgrace
but that of abandonment and misplaced
Responsibilities to me to my brother, you see
I wondered and I wished why you left
but then again why would you have stayed
I saw you walk through the door
you kept walking forward, your eyes unmoving
you walked out so willingly, knowing the consequence
so why do I remain optimistic that you would return once again
I even after two years you still give me false hope
Broken promises and how you wish I could be you and understand the scorn on you
but a hero I thought you were but you really weren’t
only disguise a wolf in sheep’s clothing
I was the only one that stood by my mother
I was the true hero unwavering and supportive
she fell to her knees when you told her the news
I stood by her knowing this wouldn’t end soon
and well enough we are still here fighting
still have to wait on that court date
and yes justice will be served
with the hope we can move forward and be rid of you
your pride now too deep, too dark, too posioned
and you wonder why I no longer speak
for you are not worthy of my words ,my thoughts
but now you weep how my mother wept when you told her “you would ever come back.”
