You left me here all alone
Barely grown
And you have gone
Leaving me to go on
No more picnics
No more poems
No more smiles
No more home
I am the last of the family
That is it
Just me
Lonely
And crying
Part of my heart dying
With you not by my side
They said that you died
Without pain and without strife
But how can that be when someone ended your life
The knife to your heart
Also pierced mine
And no I am not fine
I am not okay
Though that is what they want me to say
My brother is dead
My dearest is gone
And I am left here all alone
With no will to go on
