My Brother

I saw your name painted high on the wall
It brought back memories from so very far
Hidden deep within the back of my mind
I could hear my childhood cries…

So long ago, with constant fights
Except a few, very long nights
When I was crying, scared in my bed…
I couldn’t move, my feet felt like lead
I’ll never know why you came in that night…
Did you come to comfort my fright?
Or just because I woke you up…
In the end…I felt love

Many years later, we still fight
Until you left the house…That horrible night
When you packed your bags, and got ready to leave
You hugged mom as she cried on your sleeve
I hugged you goodbye
And chose not to cry
Until you walked out the door, and my site
I had cried for hours on end
I never knew how much I cared…Until then
