You Broke Apart

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2010 with permission of the Author.

The one who just showed anger
No fear, no hurt
The one who never seemed to care
Broken;
Tears shed and not a word spoken
Now I see that you were being strong
Trying to hold it together
Not just for you
But for the people around you.
When I saw one tear fall
I knew right away
Something was wrong
And I knew it was serious.
What is there for me to do?
What is there for me to say?
I feel helpless because the loss of a brother
I have never been through.
I can't say I know your pain because I don't.
I can't say I know what you're going through
because that would be a lie.
But something I can say is
I'm here for you and I love you
Always and forever.
Your brother, although he is gone from the Earth
Is always in our hearts.
