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.
