"If you can wait until I arrive home then I will put you to sleep every night. You'll no longer have to hide in your dome because I will be there to shed you light. I will hold you close, like a brother should and chase away the guys you want to date. I'd be there for you like you knew I would, and I know you mean love when you say 'hate.' So please keep in mind, I will be home soon. Just wait seven more days, one more week, and all the shed tears will be dried by noon. No more need to cry, no need to be meek." ...but my older brother, he was too brave, for that night, the war took him to his grave.

Sonnet #1 A Brother's Love
i didn't think that wednesday would be the last day i'd see you. the last thing i said to you was, "so see you some other time?" the last thing you said to me was, "yes." but that never came true. or at least in the way i expected. because here i am now, at your grave, missing you and wishing this was all just a bad dream.

the last time i saw you
You told me that I won't see you again, I couldn't believe that came true. When I heard my parents crying, I was confused as to why, When my dad told me, you passed away. My whole day was miserable but I went to school that day with a smile on my face. I felt sad but I didn't want anyone to know anything. You never said you were leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before we know it. And only Allah knows why A thousand times I needed you Thousand times I cried If love could've saved you. You never would've died I miss you, but I know you're in a better place. I wish I could've told you that I loved you more than anything. I regretted not hearing your voice before you were gone. I regretted not saying goodbye, I know I shouldn't cry because you're happy but it just hurts to think I would never see you again. In life, I loved you dearly In death, I loved you still In my heart, I hold a place That only you can fill. It broke my heart to know I won't see you again. It hurts to know I lost you You didn't go alone I felt like a part of me went with you. A part that desperately wanted to tell you, I LOVE YOU AND I CHERISH YOU. The day Allah took you home. I knew you will be happy and you wouldn't be judged and you will be loved by Allah. I MISS YOU FOREVER GRANDPA. I HOPE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THAT I LOVE YOU AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I SHALL CHERISH YOU IN MY HEART FOREVER.

I'll Miss You Forever Grandpa
For some people, some winters never end Others begin to fade away like sunlight when it fractures into a deep lake. How to explain love when every reason you stay alone is made of flesh and bones? Summer just pretends to be your lover for a while until it leaves and sets ablaze the shape of the skyline you used to love so much. One day you become increasingly aware that now you paint everything grey You start to forget faces and you stop playing dress up Some things are infinite and some stay a l o n e
