Ten Years Too Late

Folder: 
Dedications

Taken

Abruptly

there was no way for me

to help you

You were leaving

and

everything that I needed to say

to you

wasn't said

Don't go

leaving me here

all alone

to fend for myself

no one cares

like you

no one loves

like you

but

it was too late

Last words

Out of your mouth

be strong

don't cry

you can make it without me

it's better this way

and

ten years later

i'm still struggling with the

fact that

you're gone

it should've been me

my dear brother

it was meant for me

my dear

to go instead of you

no one cared

like you

no one loved me

like you

but

it's too late

ten years later

i'm still struggling

to let go of the hurt

let go of the pain

let go of missing you

so much

and

ten years later

i'm still struggling without

you...

this is so sad and heart wrenching -excellent piece. For me ,my brother and I were seperated when I was thirteen,due to family which neither of us knew at the time,it took 33 years to find him and I did. It's so wonderful to have my big brother back. He's 11 years older then me.
