Eight years since I lost my dear brother,
To a rare condition, like no other.
Only so few of the population can get,
It took him swiftly, leaving me with regret.
 
I never got to say goodbye.
I was at home, tears filling my eyes.
My heart shattered, my soul in pain.
Ever since that day, I've never been the same.
 
I wonder if my family feels the same.
Or is it just me, drowning in endless pain?
I raised him like my own child, you see.
So, his absence has left a void in me.
 
A couple years later, I met a guy.
I felt real happiness, like I could fly.
It was surreal, like a dream come true.
Something I never felt when I was so blue.
 
We built a life together, so sweet.
Everything seemed perfect—a true feat.
But soon the fighting began to grow.
And once again, I felt the deep sorrow.
 
Another loss came: a child was taken away.
My heart shattered; nothing left to say.
Blood on my wrists, tears on my face
Feeling broken, lost in a dark place
 
I asked God, Why did this happen to me?
What did I do to deserve such misery?
I've been kind; I've done my part.
Yet life continues to break my heart.
 
One night, in a dream's embrace,
I saw my children’s grown-up face.
No longer hurt, no longer sad,
Just happy, smiling, free from bad.
 
Since then, every time I weep
My children comforts me in my sleep.
I let my tears fall like heavy rain.
Just to see them again and again.
I don’t know anymore.
