The Brother I Once Knew

To the person I once knew

Know that you tore me down

With just two words

Shattering the indestructible walls

I worked so hard to build

...

Yet you showed no remorse

Like a werewolf that hunts and kills

Like a vampire that feeds on blood

Thriving on death and misery

Indifferent to their actions

...

I believed in you

Offering warmth and comfort when none did

Secrets and fears I did trust

Heart and soul I did bare

Yet you swore that none you'd tell

...

It was all but a lie

You never cared

And never will

I should have known better

But I was tangled in your web of lies

...

I am no stranger to betrayal

Nor to pain and suffering

Though I never expected it

From the fierce fortress I drew my strength

The one I swore my life for

...

My downfall you brought

The gravity of your actions

You cared not

Leaving my seething heart in flames

Burning all faith I ever had in you

...

Farewell to the person I once knew

To the sweet memories

To the long lost dreams

And pray our paths will never cross

For next time you may meet your end.
