Life so quickly changes
From bad to worse in a heartbeat
My heart now fails to contain
The overflowing burden of emotions
I stared at him in silence
My soul breaking to see him so bruised
Broken, stitched, bleeding
Was that the brother I once knew?
How can I go on without seeing
The pain that he caused on himself
The lies that he told to us all
The lies I so readily believed?
Why must life be a search
For what we will never get caught doing?
Reaching the center of perfection
Falls short of tipping over the edge
Mourning drips like dew
From my soul that I can not bare to hide
Sadness seeps through every pore
Watching my brother's misting eyes
Tomorrow is another day
A day to live and hope and possibly dream
But until then I'm a prisoner of today
And the unprecedented horror it may bring
