O Brother, My Brother

O Brother, my Brother, what had you alone in here,

Besides a room you built yourself out of your darkness and fear?

Your fear letting someone in that abyss you called a heart,

But when I finally think you have it's over before it starts.

In the unsure beginning, when the two of us were younger,

When our days and nights were filled with poverty and hunger,

You'd ease my pain and say, "Don't cry, Mokie, but be strong!"

But I never thought in my wildest dreams that you'd be oh so wrong.

Just as you said, you were strong, and you kept your hurt within,

You'd face our cruel and unkind chance with laughter and a grin.

But too quickly did that grin change into a disheartening frown,

And in that anger you kept inside, you surely began to drown.

In your sea of despair and un-cried tears you tried to stay afloat,

You tried and tried your very best although you had no boat.

You struggled to stay over and above you rising angst from the tide,

But then you could no longer keep up and all your will had died.

But now I see, my Brother, you finally have stayed still,

The iron façade you once had is now calm and tranquil.

You utter not a word or move as I slowly come by,

But as I do and come closer to your desk I suddenly see why.

Clenched in your hand was the gun that you used to end it all,

It spilled all of what was in your head all against the wall.

Your body lies slung over your desk, its touch so cold and grey,

It all makes me wonder madly why you decided to end it this way.

At least at last you found solace and a way out of your duress,

And at least at last your aggressive soul can now forever rest,

But I'm still mad at you, Big Brother, this part I never expected to see,

If you didn't want to live for yourself then why didn't you live for me?
