My Huckleberry Finn

My Brother

Please forgive me

Don’t think I can stand up today

My body so weak with words I cannot say

Regret, how it becomes the memories we neglect

I miss our conversations be they so far in day

No foolish pride to be my resolute

When I see myself become the worst excuse

No friends left to pull away this recluse

Cursing down every cloud we tried to drown

Staring into the lake

Watching eyes close with her princess crown

Help me dear Brother

I lost myself again this day

How I miss the love of our Mother

Her spirit still speaks to us in the thunder

Do you think she will be proud of me some day

Always will I try and be your keeper

With secrets we never need say

Behind you to wickets in every step

I lost my favourite glove again today

Hold me dear Brother

What words we spoke above a grave

Digging away our better years

Just to stare with no words to say

Come so far from crashing cars

Still can I hear her drowning lungs like it was yesterday

Always shall it be with me, this anchor

Dragging it down the dark hallway

How the dread of Father becomes our fear

The terror I see in nightmares he holds dear

Hide with me under the bed with Mothers prayer

Close our eyes and take us back to the town fare

Help me dear Brother

My heart has fallen to pieces again this day

I wore my best smile but she won’t even look my way

Fractured cuts be so deep, no more can I hide this pain

I keep threading it together but life just throws me away

Happier I be in thought of sunny days

By that river where we fish forever

With no need of any word to complain

Home with nice biscuits where our love keeps us sane

These troubled times, no sowing heard again in that place

Save me dear Brother

These sad thoughts will never leave me alone

I can't sleep anymore with that screaming

Always to bare scars of this broken phone

Her glass jar of broken hearts so full of tears

Why won't she give me back these lost years

Fingerpaint our pain as ink upon our sleeves

No butterfly in caged misery to set me free

I keep cutting it away, why won't it ever leave me

Stand with me my Brother

When it's time to drag myself into the rain

Hammers that beat my fist to chest

Come see the lightning run through my veins

Still do I think of our friends lost to yesterday

Their souls circle through my blood down this drain

Will they return to show me no shame

Holding me as I scream for Father to go away

For you my one true Brother

Never did I want to be of any bother

Always the best of us with all those smarts

Spread those arms like the plane we couldn’t start

A spoonful of ashes to memories we called a friend

Losing all we loved to addictions of death

This letter be words kept that my heart never said

Remind me to find your birthday text I forgot to send

Don’t let one tear fall for me this day my brother

Love to never leave me again as I sit by our Mother

At your side in every fight no matter how far

Always with you, my only true brave heart
