I sat
Staring at the baby blue felt box
Blue his favorite color, now he rests in that part of the rainbow
I feel my cheeks
Slowly becoming warmer and before I can think
About controlling the never ending spasms
I am crying again
My beautiful brother
He is sleeping
My mother whispers "I love you"
And the whole time I am trying to grasp what I feel
His best friends cry out with their fingers on instruments
Music was his life
He was mine
Not a lover
My brother
My mentor and biggest influence
Loved life with a zest I only wish I could have
And smiled to draw everyone around near
Face frozen
Wish I could've jumped in the deep earth with him
Disappeared from life
To forget it ever even happened
« return.
