Failure
In my hands is a piece of fabric
A blood stained piece of fabric
And there is only one word in my head
Failure
Not for the owner of the piece fabric
No
The person who is holding it
Me
My tears sting my eyes as they fall
"Your nothing but a failure"
That one line is all I can say to myself
I failed at protecting
I failed at leading
Worse of all I failed as a big brother
And the cost of my failure
One of my little brothers life
Only if I was faster
Only if I was watching my surroundings better
Only if I was watching my brothers more
No not 'Only if'
I should of been faster
I should of watched my surroundings better much better
I should of watched my brothers more
I'm the leader I should of acted like it
I hold the fabric closer to my chest
It's all I have left of him now
What hurts me the most is
The last look in his face before he faded away
It's stuck in my head playing over and over like a film
The hurt in his eyes before they closed
The pain in his face before it relaxed with death
Everytime it flashes in my head
It is like someone cuts a new wound in my heart
I wish and pray
For this to be a dream
For my little brother to be alive again
But I know not matter how hard I wish and pray
He is never coming back
I collapse on my knees crying my heart out
I put the fabric close to my face
The fabric is soaking up my tears
But I don't care
And with what energy I have left before I completely curl up and cry like there's not tomorrow
I say one last thing
I love you little bro and I always will
I have not put which brother died, which ever you want it to be it can be.
I did not put which brother because I think Leo would act the same no matter which one of his little brothers died
