My Liitle Bro

by June   Feb 18, 2008


My little bro I don't see that much ,
he's younger but so much bigger than me.
Only time we see him is when he needs a bed ,
and on a lot of things we don't agree.
He is a grown man of 33 ,
his partner has 3 kids and together they have my niece.
Whenever things get too much it's like he runs away ,
at times I do see why as his home is never at peace.
He'll usually run to mum and dads ,
and for a while that is where he hides.
Mum hates him there but dad opens the door everytime ,
my mum moans to me but I refuse to take sides.
Whilst mum and dad were on holiday ,
my little bro asked if I had the key.
I don't have it even if I did I would not give it ,
with them away their place he should not be.
I told him he's not alone in having problems in his relationship ,
but unlike him running to mum and dads place I don't do.
So upon asking for their key ,
a few things I said that I shouldn't have but they are true.
I told him he's a grown man now ,
he has his little girl to think about.
Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to run to dads ,
instead of running it's time his life he sorted out.
It just annoys me that he never calls to see how we are ,
and the only time we see him is when things for him are wrong.
What I said is true and long over due ,
it's time he acted like an adult he's been a big kid far to long.
Maybe a part of me is jealous of him ,
for everytime he needs help or a place to go he runs to dad.
I've had problems lately and have wanted to just run away ,
but dad does not offer me the same help and at times that has made me sad.
