My Baby Brother

My baby brother,
it's been years.
I miss you,
momma misses you.
Gramma misses you.
My baby brother,
we want you here.

My baby brother,
since you left,
Nikka and momma?
They don't get along. 
Jess?
She moved away. 
The memory of you
is too strong. 
Me? 
I've become a mess. 

My baby brother,
taken away so young, 
only five years old. 
My bluejay, 
forever young. 

My baby brother, 
we barely saw each other,
but I still miss you.

My baby brother,
please tell me this is just a dream.
Wake me up, 
tell me that you miss me. 
I want to hear your voice one more time.
 
My baby brother, 
taken away for good.
