Drifting

May 2, 2008
By Anonymous

My house is empty now,
Without my brothers around.
I don’t know how to live without them
With the silence in my ears so loud.

Without my brothers around,
I can feel a part of me missing.
With the silence in my ears so loud,
I can barely hear my own thoughts.

I can feel a part of me missing,
When Brandon’s seat is empty at dinner.
I can barely hear my own thoughts
With my dad’s rising voice sitting next to me.

When Brandon’s seat is empty at dinner,
I can feel his silence suffocating me.
With my dad’s rising voice sitting next to me,
Expecting me to follow in their footsteps.

I can feel his silence suffocating me,
When my phone calls are never returned.
Expecting me to follow in their footsteps.
Comparing me to them.

When my phone calls are never returned,
I already know we’re drifting apart.
Comparing me to them
I hope one day he will understand.

I already know we’re drifting apart.
My house is empty now.
I hope one day he will understand,
I don’t know how to live without them.
