PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You would’ve been just like me, sharing all my traits,

We probably would have been best friends until a cruel twist of fate.

It took you away from me and left an empty space,

Tearing apart my world even though I’ve never seen your face.

It could have been me instead and you’d be here writing this,

And even though I’ve never met you, somehow I still miss.

I miss the things that could have been- I miss having you here,

I wish those things could have been- I wish you could be here.

An emptiness inside has plagued me my entire Life,

Trying figure out what was wrong- What was missing inside.

Why did my heart feel so empty and everyday it seemed to get worse

When you have a void the size of mine nothing can relieve the hurt.

You should be here with me walking with me on this journey,

But instead I’m alone in this fucced up world and everyday I’m learning.

I was robbed of my twin and you were robbed of your Life,

And if God is real then what he did isn’t right.

Losing a twin is the same as losing a part of you inside,

And when I look in the mirror it’s a constant reminder of the part of me that

died.





Dedicated to the memory of my lost twin. Gone but never forgotten.
