Angels

Is this you my blood brother 
That vowed never to leave me
Now you treat me like an earthworm
With your salts of anger 
And command to leave your house
That was made our home

Even you that I considered
By bond feelings as a good
Sister but now and Lo you tour
Me with kisses of stains of insults
From your lips
Your ones hope for my heart as a
Brother

Is this you my friend that has blacked
 Me with red shame
Have you forgotten the zeal of our
Union as school mates now you
Leave me like others has gambled me
In and out like a rejected wisdom
With sick children without shelter

It is sad when those close to you treat you unkindly - it cuts deep. Love the descriptive text and the fluidity of your work.
