Today I Cried

The words were like a thousand needles to my heart My soul crumbled and bled as my composure fell apart I tried to hold my head high and choke back all the pain But my pride became a memory drowned out by the rain My will so stubborn and strong became weak and tierd at the thought of you gone I had no words to say as the tears fell down my face I sat only in silence as the judge closed the case The look in your eye Will haunt me until I die twenty five years and you shed not a tear you smiled at the judge and showed no fear Your empire was gone they took everything you owned but you were loyal to the end to every single friend your silence was like the steel that they would never bend even when we were kids and the beatings would set in You never left my side brother you were loyal to the end The world so cruel forced your hardended soul Then they condemned you for learning to be cold I wish that life had given us the chance to rise above But how can you kill the hate when you were never shown to love Prison will never break the bond that family holds so dear I will stand beside you brother i will always be here I will accomplish all I've dreamded of And i will make you proud You are the only family that I have to love And I will not be a victim of the crowd
