CAPTURED

Tell me something true.

Were you my brother?

You are ashes now.

And I walk away.

You are reborn.

Encaged.

In a iron lung prison.

It didn't have to happen.

But you let it.

Betrayal.

I could not save you.

And so, you are engulfed,

In flames.

That my tears cannot put out.

And I say goodbye to you.

My friend.

My brother.

I failed you.

I am sorry.

And that is my truth.

The truth that you can not see through red eyes.

Echoing with flames.

And a burnt heart.
