Death Poem by Teens

1 year, 4 months, and 7 days ago, my 9-year-old brother passed away. He had asthma really bad. The doctor put him on medication, and it was too strong, and his lungs filled up with mucus. He couldn't breathe.
His name was Tai. He was my best friend, and there was nothing that could separate us. We were together every day, every night. We did everything together.

My Brother, My Best Friend

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2011 with permission of the Author.

I feel so alone
and so empty.
You were my best friend,
my baby brother.
I feel so guilty,
I should have listened to you.
I have wished upon a million stars,
but not one of them has brought you back.
I wanna believe it's all a dream,
but it's not.
It's reality.
This is the way it's going to stay.
If only I we could be together again,
like we used to.
We were together every day,
no matter what.
I stuck up for you,
and you stuck up for me.
I was always right by your side,
nothing could break what we had.
No one will ever understand how I feel,
nobody will ever feel my pain.
I have to wake up every morning,
knowing I could have helped you.
The days are tough.
Every day after school I would chill with you.
Now, I just come home every day,
sit, think, and feel the guilt.
Someday we will be together again.
I miss you!
