brother brother
September 18, 2012
the sirens blazing for the red white and blue
fear is a sickness and no one is immune
the sky is dark the sun is dead
I watched him go and I miss still
my friend
my brother
to me he is the same
navy blue dress with black leather boots
I never shed a tear till the moment he left you, and me
he lived a man but died a boy, his life was of no use,
he had potential, his head held high, he flies above and weeps for us
he knew it wasn't supposed to be him
the lamb that fed the shepherd
he left me for a reason
I only wish I knew
