To my fallen brother

It's hard to lose someone in battle

It's hard to, get over the fact

that you are gone

We stood by each other

through every war

bullets and tears

I sat beside you

as I watched you die

I tried to help, but, I couldn't

As I cried over your broken body

I shot down the guy, who shot you

I wish you could've of seen it

I wish I could have saved your life in time

I know you are watching over me

over our comrades

I don't know how I will tell your family

that you are gone

I don't know how If I'll live, myself

more and more of our comrades are dying

They will be with you

I know, we will see each other again

wiping each other's tears away

But for now, I'm on the battlefield

finishing up, what you left

I'm using your gun, as a remembrance

I miss you..my fallen brother.

I have two brothers in the military and I still worry now and then for them. I know that the fear of losing them is very real. This poem is wonderful in honoring that brother.
