Broken

Why did it ever

seem

like a broken

dream?

My brother was a

kid,

now we all know

what I did.

I gave it all

away

love and hope

are gone,

and I will never

forget

the pains that have

begun.

He was only a child

and I took it all

away,

in terms of my own failure

I must surely have to pay.

I broke it all

for a laugh

and now I'm nothing but

a slinking mess.

For all the years

he cried

for all the years

he wept

I want them all back

I've got nothing left.

My brother who I broke

shall never cry again,

I took all he had

and gave him fear

of his friend.

Now that I have seen

what laughing can cause,

I will go to join him now

I'm sorry,

but I've lost.

I'll make myself go

to the place of his break

and break myself as well

and build it all

and leave it in my wake.

I'll make myself a Puppet,

a shadow of myself,

and together we will be,

forever in pain,

broken in misery.

My brother who is broken

will never cry again,

and I will break myself

and give him back his friend.
