My brother
You left so suddenly brother, your personal anguish I could not hear.
I can't help but wonder if I'd of heard it, if only I held you near.
But time and circumstance I chose to embrace, I let you go before you left, I fear.
Another burden I must carry, until it's my very last breath I draw.
Once before this mistake I made, this choice too on my soul does gnaw.
The lesson fell on deaf ears, but I repeat this, it's my failing, my flaw.
Little comfort I draw from knowing you're reunited, that you're with her.
I saw no warning, no heralding trumpets, no kings with riches or mur.
One day here, the next gone, was it because my own heart I could not stir.
I miss you brother, You left me again, how I wish that you were here.
You left so suddenly brother, your personal anguish I could not hear.
I can't help but wonder if I'd see you still, if only I held you near.
