I Don'T Know If You Can Hear Me

I don't know if you can hear me, Or feel our pain and Regret. Some days are filled with aching, But sometimes I can forget. I don't know if you are listening, But we often speak your name. Searching for some sort of sign, But all we feel is pain. I don't know if you are watching, But your brother's barely hanging on. Our family continues to crumble, Every second you are gone. I don't know if can you understand, That no one here came out unscathed. I would say this to your face, But I now must say it to your grave.
