The Lost Child and the Lonely Cry

i could feel it shake the world as an earthquake i could see the dust and all i want to do is run i didnt know and i could not see my heart was pounding so hard my legs only carried me so fast i could hear it then or rather sense it in a way but i continued running hoping with a heavy heavy heart that everything was ok then the dust cleared and i knew it to be true i lost my brother the only family i every knew the world had eaten him up swollowed him whole this cant be right i had no control and me and him were so tight if i could just hold him and tell him that it would be alright let him know i love him and hug him oh so tight i made a promise i couldnt keep i told him i would say goodbye and said that i would not weep but i never thought he would die on the plane where no passengers survived fate is so cruel but i know i must live on you would have to if i was gone ten years later my life is a success its for you hun for you i do my very best
