A Poem for My Brother
I think of you, my brother
As tears drip down my cheek.
My thoughts of you in death
Have left me cold and weak.
I tried to take revenge for you,
Though your slayers were too strong.
I wish to think the fault is theirs,
But I know that I am wrong.
You knew what you were doing
When you betrayed your friends.
You wanted things to end this way.
Still, it's you my heart defends.
Through rejection you soon learned
To despise life and to hate
To hide your feelings behind a mask
While bound to Chosen's fate.
Images rush through my mind
Of Lloyd's blade against your chest.
Granting you the prize you sought:
Eternal deathly rest.
I wish that I could change events
But this is how things are.
I stand here at your grave
So close and yet so far.
Goodbye to you, my brother
Who loved me through the years
But where are you when I need you now
To wipe away my tears?
