Who's to Blame

by reminiscent-afterthought

It had always been between Shunsuke's best friend and Shunsuke's little brother - and before that and after that, all about him and the choices he made.

Who to Blame

Should I cry?

I can't help it. The tears are already
flowing down my face.

Who do I blame?
Whose fault is it to bear?

Maybe if he wasn't my little brother I could…

My fault, because I didn't listen
even when the world shook.

"I can't do this. I can't."

Was I believing in him by saying
he could? Or just convincing him.

Was I choosing?
Already? Between them

When choosing accomplished nothing
in the end

Except more pain
and who's to blame?
And who has the right to cry?

I can't have both of them.
Why can't I?
It's unfair, and now he's gone
forever.
