Love Is Eternal...

dedicated to my deceased only brother, joshua

i wish you could see beyond my tears
see past the fog that never clears
when i was with you i was okay
but once you left my sanity faded away

i cant take back what's already been said
it’s the question of forgiveness that I dread

my sanity faded when you didn’t show
you were gone for good and now i know
the grief and pain that lurks within
and reveals itself when my days begin

you were my hero, my role model, my friend
until that day that it all had to end

your death left me in a haze
emotional numbness had enveloped me in itself
i felt like a blind man lost in a maze

I cant take back what's already been done
i now realize that its just begun

as i write my throat swells 
tears stream down my face
my heart is broken from the inside out 
and i never miss a moment feeling out of place

it seems that  sleep is my only retreat
all my days only foretell defeat 

weeks after your departure i hallucinated to ere a voice
it told me to endure the thing that hurt me the most
I replied to the anonymous delusion -

why? 
love is eternal that for my brother, 
FOREVER i will grieve 
i love u josh
