Age gap siblings
my brother is 11 years older than me
he would read me stories and sing me songs
he taught me how to ride a bike and play guitar
but he is 11 years older than me
he is 16 out with friends, i’m 5 playing with barbie dolls
he no longer reads stories or sings me songs
because he is 11 years older than me
we are now 7 and 18
he goes on drives and gets back at 2
sometimes we play games in his room
but he’s an adult and i’m still growing up
so by the time i’m 10 his room is empty
his new house is nice but i don’t see him often
he’s 22 and announcing their pregnancy
there’s no longer a room for me to sleep in
i’m 15 with a brother 11 years older than me
i taught him to braid hair, make friendship bracelets and who justin beiber is
but he doesn’t remember that
he has a family of his own
i wish i could be a kid with him
stay up too late and eat to many sweets
but he is 11 years older than me
