And the funny thing is,
you were the one who made me laugh the most.
Now, all the memories make me smile,
but nothing hurts me more
than knowing I won’t hear those funny jokes anymore,
or the sound of your laughter
cascading off the walls
of our little apartment.
Life can be cruel.
But the funniest thing is,
I still wait to hear your laugh
Knowing it will never echo again.

He is myself.
I see him in me.
Two mirrors facing each other.
Is this why
we don’t see eye to eye?
He has brown eyes.
I see my reflection in them.
Pools of sepia depths
that I always drown in.
He makes me lose control.
Just drives recklessly across my heart.
I take control again
and turn the other way.
He never calls.
Or says hello.
He just lingers around..
And…
He knows I’ll keep waiting.

When I got the news about you,
I couldn’t believe it.
All the memories flashed on through,
still I couldn’t see it.
I kept calling your phone, it kept ringing.
No answer at all, I’m crying looking at the ceiling.
I knew things were going to suddenly change,
but I wasn’t expecting this immense pain.
I called your phone again,
and all it did was ring and ring.
All I wanted was to hear your voice,
make sure you were still here by choice.
Never got to grieve your memory,
I fall asleep only to lie awake in misery.
Losing a sibling isn’t for the weak.
Losing my brother made me unable to speak.
I wish I had one last day with you,
one last laugh like we used to do.
I’d tell you everything I never said,
all the words stuck in my head.

You ever have one of those days
where you’re sitting completely in silence,
in the real world
but somehow deeper in your own?
Surrounded by people
busy minding their own affairs.
Everyday people.
Strangers.
Humans
making their way to unknown places,
racing toward their next destination.
And you’re… just there.
Invisible to some,
unimportant to others,
just another face in the crowd,
unrecognizable, irrelevant.
But inside your head,
the thoughts are completely out of control.
Loud.
Erratic.
Messy.
Scribbled across your brain.
So loud and overpowering
they make you afraid
to be seen
or noticed.
What would you call that?
Anxiety?
BPD?
Manic?
Is it grief?
Is it pain?
Could it be PTSD?
Who knows.
But I do know
here they come.
They are not supposed to be this loud.
But…
if you could hear
the inside of my mind,
you would understand
why I sometimes disappear
while sitting right in front of you.

I never write about you.
Maybe I should start.
But the pages wouldn’t be big enough
to hold all the important
and nonchalant things
that made you who you were.
All the tiny, descriptive details.
There will never be anybody like you.
No one could love themselves that much.
And still, sometimes,
I catch myself doing things
just the way you used to —
the little things
no one ever knew about you.
But me.
Because I saw every color
and every bruise you suffered through.
I weathered every hard day beside you.
I listened to your mouth
swear the same words
over and over again.
I watched you cry yourself to sleep.
Every single night.
I searched for the source
of your hidden pain —
the unbearable grief,
the vast emptiness,
the sharp agony,
the unfortunate sorrow,
the heavy burdens.
You really were
the strongest person I knew.
But you’re gone.
And now I’m the one hiding,
longing for someone
to find my pain,
my wallowing grief,
my singular misery,
my guilty sorrow,
my untimely burdens.
History repeats itself.
Except…
time keeps ticking,
and I never feel like I’m moving.
If only you could read this.
I never write about you.
But maybe
I should start.
