I lost my brother today
We couldn't leave, he couldn't stay
My brother has gone away
Maybe we'll get along some day

I really hate to see him go
But my bother had to know
He couldn't hurt us anymore, even though
We really miss him so

Good bye little brother
What a sad day for our mother
Sometimes I wish you were some other
And not my little brother

You could be nice and oh so great
But your soul is bitter and drowning in hate
I don't know if I can wipe clean the damaged slate
Today it was my bother I had to forsake

A piece of my flesh I had to sever
But that piece was numb from your violent endeavors
I will love/hate you always/never
I hope you will change and come back better

Sometimes I really want to cry
Salty tears fill up my eyes
Till they fill up my world and make me die
All because we had to say goodbye

Acrid emotions get in the way
Displacing memories of evil things you would say
Wishing these problems would go away
I lost my brother today
This one is very emotional, and was hard for me to write. Technically, its not all that good, but it is very meaningful to me. I hope the emotion comes through and at the very least explains the lack of technique.

that poem was much better than you have deemed it. i think it was an excelent empression of emotions and showed the pain that you were actually feeling
