A Thought In My Mind

God, It's been months now, Wth no word and no sign, I had once made you a vow, But now It's lost in my wine. When I was a child, You led him to me, He taught me to be wild, You answered my plea. God I was alone, And so very scared, I prayed with every bone, That you would hear my prayer. I'm eighteen years old, I've been for half a year He didn't show for my birthday, I struggled but I didn't shed a tear. I try and I try to hate him, He left me by myself, I try to dictate him, As someone who only cares for hisself. I try to be angry, But I can't manage it for long, I only end up missing him, And listening to his song. God, you let me lose my brother, Now I only want him back, He's too important for me to lose, Without him my strength will crack. I'm graduating soon, I've got an extra ticket with his name, It'll happen in June, If he isn't there it'll be a shame. I miss him God, I miss him so much, I try not to think about him, But he's a thought my mind will always touch.

God knows your hurt, this is a wonderful poem about your brother. I can feel your pain because I lost my daughter, she was only 18yrs old and got killed in a car accident. I did not want her dead but God wanted her in his beautiful garden. Your brother is always with you in spirit. Just think of all the good times you spent with him. God bless, I enjoyed reading your poem today.

Thank you so much. I think you slightly misinterpreted though. My brother isn't dead...It's almost as if he is; but as far as I know, well technically he could be either...But, I think he's still alive. He's just not in my life.
