For My Twin
My brother died 12 days ago.
I held him until his last heartbeat passed.
I watched my mothers heart break
And fathers world shatter.
I was there.
I watched his lips turn blue.
I felt the heat leave his body
And sobbed into his hospital gown.
My brother died 12 days ago.
I was the one to make the phone calls.
I’m the one who broke the news
To our family and friends.
I was there.
I walked down those halls.
I left my shattered soul
Sewn into the cracked tiles of that hospital.
My brother died 12 days ago.
I swear he took my heart with him.
He left my mind here to listen
To the countless “my condolences”.
I was there.
I saw the 300 people who loved him.
I met some of the countless souls
He guided through life storms.
My brother died 12 days ago.
I am still crying when no ones looking.
I buried my brother in the earth he loved
But his light and love lives in me now.
