Why

That day,
The day my whole world went dark,
The day my visage sulked the most,
The day my whole life moped,
The day my world crumbled at my feet to nothing,
The day my shredded heart obscured,
The day that fed me on woe,
The day life gave me a cup of torment to drink from,
The day that grew to be my foe,
The day the gluttonous claws of the black master snatched you,
That black day...
But why?

You were a blessing to many,
A gem to all that felt the affection in your warm smile,
A precious treasure to my heart,
A hope to many,
No words can perfectly describe you...
An untainted soul,
Pure as the driven snow,
A heart of gold you had,
Put a smile on every face that met you,
A source of light to my path...
But why you?

You gave me hope,
A reason to live another day,
Your strong will to live,
Despite all the challenges,
That you faced boldly,
And embraced as a part of you,
Gave me an ardent heart,
To walk through the prickly paths of life,
Now with no more you,
How do I live?
Where do I draw my motivation from?

Why did you leave so early?
Why didn't you take me with you?
With whom did you leave me?
Why did it have to be you?
I wish you could come back,
Just one more time,
To answer my boundless questions,
To set my turmoiled mind free,
I love you,
I miss you,
Que te vaya bien,
Rest in eternal peace bro.


In loving memory of you, my late brother.

Soo.
