Best Brothertrust Poems


Permanent Victim

Long ago there was a time
when you betrayed this trust of mine

Don't recall what happened then
Who what how where why or when

Brother won't resign himself
To sacrifice his mental health

In the name of all that's 'fair'
Fury starves my lungs of air

Dare you not apologize
For agony uncompromised

Now is when I have my cake
Never make the same mistake

Now is when I eat it too
And burn my effigy of you

Here on out the world is dark
Demons reign within my heart

You betrayed this trust of mine
Which I will hold till end of time
