I thought you would be here for me

Come whatever misery

I thought I could rely on you

My brother, my brother, why isn't this true?

Now I huddle, outside, in the rain

The chill leaves me numb but still I feel pain

Lost without your guiding hand

Losing my fate without what you have planned

A cough wracks my body; what little there is

You didn't know that I would come to this

I'm failing you now and all you did dream

I'm no longer strong enough even to scream

I thought you would be here for me

Come whatever misery

I thought I could rely on you

My brother, my brother, why isn't this true?

All that I once cared about lost to my despair

What will I have to live is barely even there

My pride is what keeps me from acting to survive

It would have been different…if you were still alive…

Clinging to rags, not in hope but sheer want

The sight of your corpse does ever my soul haunt

Weeping without sound nor tears as life slips away

With the water, taking also my chance to see another day

I thought you would be here for me

Come whatever misery

I thought I could rely on you

My brother, my brother, why isn't this true?

…Why isn't this true…?
