Brother can you see me?

Brother can you see me?

11 years, 

that's all i had

To live in the shadow of my hero 

11 years 

was all it took

to love someone so unconditionally 

that when you died, 

you took my soul with you.. 

Your charming smile, that could light a room

your sparkling eyes without even a tinge of gloom

the strong arms, holding me tight on long nights 

we were all we had, each others best friend, 

"baby sister do not cry i will always be here" as you would wipe tears from my eyes.. 

Here i sit, 

20 years old

where are you now? 

why do i cry alone? 

a single night.. a single rope..

was all it took.. 

you promised me you would stay forever.. 

My life was left, hanging in the ropes that clutched the life from your neck..

Very sad poem Shayna,

 But rest a sure, he has not left you alone, he remains there, still wiping the tears from your eyes, as you speak and as long as you continue to speak of him, he will always share that smile that lights up the room that you speak of and keep so dear to your heart.Remember him as he was and how  he would have wanted you to, ,just as he remembers you, as his little sister and to always will ever be, his best friend.Keep your head up young lady and he sets beside you each and every day you wake to a new.

My condolences,

Jim
