Good-bye, Brother.

You're the one I go to when my heart begins to ache,
And you've always understood that my smiles are all fake,
But now that you're gone, my heart has split in two,
And I know there's not a single thing that you can even do.

You showed me how to heal myself when others brought me down,
But I've always known I'm nothing if you're ever not around,
And now I find I'm worthless once again without you here,
'Cause I sit around wiping, and crying all these tears.

I'm scared without you by my side to hold my sorry soul,
And I feel like my heart has grown into a hole,
It's empty there inside of it and my hope is slim to none,
'Cause my fears just pile up and now I've no where left to run.

I'm shaking now and blaming you for making your mistakes,
When I tried, repeatedly, to tell you which to make,
But now you've gone and messed things up and left me here alone,
And I find myself hating you for not returning home.

-My brother was sent to Hawaii on vacation to see my sister, and I soon found out that he is no longer coming back. My mother is leaving him there in attempt to help him 'correct' his life, and I don't know what to do. He knows me better than I've ever known myself, and I know I'm lost without him...-
