The Emptiness Inside

Gone he is, this brother of mine Left is an empty hole Visions remain of his misery As death came to claim his soul Weak and frail was this hand I held And his breath dark as night I knew too well the end was coming But, could not leave the sight Stay I did , and watch the last Breath, echo the end The visions remain and torment me The loss of my brother, my friend There’s an empty space inside of me That ‘s hollow and can’t be filled A vacancy that no-one can see A part of me was killed Dear, dear brother I miss you so You are always on my mind People will come and people will go But, you my dear were one of a Kind !

Martha - I reckon the only comfort we have is in knowing that a better place awaits those who leave before us - very emotional poetry that gives great tribute to your brother - God Bless, MJ
