Where art thou my brother?
By Melancholic VIncent
When was your birth?
Can remember no more
When was your death?
The day of my own
But i did reborn
Why didn't you?
Why didn't you?
The car were too drunk
You flew away
And crashed against the road
Your head was smashed
Your spike was broken
Your life withered away
Just in a snap moment
Your soul was spilled
Over the redden highway
Ten year old kid
All dressed in black
Black body bag
Taken before his time
See his face
No more
Shall he speak
Never more
Taken inside a drawer
Along with the deaf and dumb
Together with the dead and dreary
In a melancholic waiting room
No talking, nor speaking
Everyone was too quiet to be alive
Everything was too iced to be living
One day, they took you out
To bring another John Doe
That no one cared
That no one knew
And took your naked bones
To the graveyard
They dug up a hole
Thrown your lifeless body into it
Swallowed by the earth
Your flesh returned to it
As the sacred book promissed
Some words of condolence were said here
In a monotonous obliged sympathy
Descending his tomb into the hole
In the depths of the oblivion
One more corpse to be buried on this soil
To perish, to never return
Into the minds of all the presents
Morbid cerimony of mortal remains
What were his name?
Who was him?
No one seems to reply
Nobody seems to answer
But i know!
It was half of my blood
It was flesh of my flesh
It was my brother

Yeah, i know I'm generally a crybaby, but not over poetry. And honestly, this made me shed a few tears. I dont know your brother, nor did i see his death, but ever since you told me about the accident and about his death, I have felt incredibly sad for him. I don't know. maybe its because I have this sympathy for you that i feel some of it towards him as well... *takes a deep breath* im okay.
Condolences to your brother..

Thanks for this :) It's like I could really feel how you were feeling about this. Really... thanks so much... I can't remember him, I just... sometimes wonder what would become of him if he was still alive.

This is so sad, but also so beautiful. I really admire you for your obvious strength. If I were to ever lose my little brother, I would never be the same. He's the reason I try to be strong. As always, amazing job.

I don't remember him, so there's not much to miss, I remember my life always without him on it so it wasn't that bad. That car accident was many times called just "The Accident" it marked us all, but for me it is just something that I can't remember, I blocked the whole thing out, everything past that was enough bad for that day to not be so bad.... As always, your comments make my day :)

Oh gosh. This makes me want to cry. The emotion you put in those words, each little one meaning something bigger than the letters that make it up. This is absolutely amazing. Well done.

Bambi was killed...and really we weren't that close ever...she was about 20 something years older and with her mental problems we usually never meshed....but I remember just breaking down when I heard about it...like I couldn't breath. I cried harder for a sister that I barely knew than my Nana who for all purposes raised me...yet Nana was my "banshee"

I am very sorry for your loss, when this happened, I was too young to remember any of it and I was numbed with coma as well, so I don't have feelings for him, but it's always a tragedy, what would it be if he was alive?! Sometimes I wonder... Death is always a ghastly business

I cant remember him But many times i wonder how would be his life if he was still alive. Is he lucky for not becoming a witness of our broken family? Who knows... I dont dare to answer it, i just wonder about the question... Thanks for the support.
