He is Dead

He is dead.

He'll never again play with me,

his grin I'll never see.

These thoughts go through my head,

he is now dead.

He is dead.

He'll never again keep me safe and sound,

never more race me to the playground.

He'll never more tuck me into bed,

because he is now dead.

He is dead.

He fell through the ice for me,

he died so I could live unharmed and happy.

Why did my brother drown in my stead?

He is now dead.

He is dead.

He isn't here anymore,

he'll never again run through the door.

I just can't get the thought out of my head,

because he is now dead.

He is dead.

He'll never again play with me,

his grin I'll never see.

These thoughts go through my head,

he is now dead.
