My Brother

Oh brother my brother,
What had you alone in here?
Besides a room built by yourself,
Out of darkness out of fear?
Your fear of letting someone in,
that thing you called a heart,
But when i finally think you have,
It's over before it starts,
In the unsure beginning,
When the two of us were younger,
When our days and nights were filled,
With poverty and hunger,
You'd ease my pain and say,
"Don't cry, but be Strong,"
But i never thought in my wildest dreams,
That you would be oh so wrong,
Just as you said you were strong,
And you kept your heart within,
You'd force our cruel and unkind chance,
With laughter and a grin,
But to quickly did that grin,
Change into a dis-hearting frown,
And in that anger you kept inside,
You surely began to drown,
In your sea of despair and un-cried tears,
You tried to stay afloat,
You tried so hard your very best,
Although you had n boat,
You struggled to stay over,
And above your rising against the tide,
But then you could no longer keep up,
And all your will had died....
