You Were Dead
You didn’t say a single word
Not even goodbye
Coward.
You were supposed to be a big brother
I forgot about you.
I put you through hell
I’m sorry
But you made me fall to the ground
You were dead.
I didn’t quit
I kept trying
You didn’t notice though
You didn’t
Care.
I sat in my room
Cried myself to sleep
While you were gone
“Happy”
Self-centered
A**hole
Brother.
The day came
I gave up
Didn’t care
Completely forgot
You
You were once my brother
Loved you.
You’ll always be.
But you weren’t alive.
You were dead.
You’re back
Safe and relieved
My feelings haven’t changed
Resentment
Anger
Fear
What if you leave again?
Go ahead
Leave.
I’m ready
Don’t be surprised
I won’t cry
I’ve changed
Stronger
Healthier
Grateful for everyone
Who supported me
You didn’t
You were dead.
You’re back
So what?
You don’t know me
Maybe you won’t
Never will.
I don’t know
If I truly…care.
But today’s a new day
Something new
Change…maybe.
But the past never will
Always there
You were once dead
You’re back though
You’re home.
