for my bro

Did you have to leave...
The way you did so quickly, then
Did you need to leave so quietly
slipping from my heart the way you did.
Do you know what you have left behind you
Do you care
You were stolen from me.
Of that I cannot bear!
Days go by and careless thoughts
bring to me
other nonsense weeds for me
to dig through
And I forget
momentarily
that you were here
Until I see your smile
then I want to crawl up into
my soul
and join you
For I don't know if I want to
live without you
You were stolen from me
my brother
and I never got the chance
to say goodbye

You've got to stand for something...
Or you'll fall for anything...
