Brother
I only asked for your presence
I didn't want to call you again
I didn't expect you to mock me
As I, tried to process my pain
I'm sorry I expressed my sadness
I'm sorry I needed a hand
I didn't want to burden you
I hoped that you'd understand
I'm sorry I battled my demons
I'm sorry I shared my distress
I'm sorry but I was drowning
With Post Traumatic Stress
I didn't expect the silence
I didn't expect the blame
I suffered for my illness
I upset the family name
I had to hide my demons
I kept my sorrow confined
I watched you move on..
Without me,
As I was left behind
Time has left a stranger
I'm not the brother you know
In order to help me heal
I had to let you go
