My Brother

My Brother

A Poem by LawrenceA

Our Friendship
Something that bleeds across time and space 
The days filled with our laughter
The nights riddled with my drinking
In this loneliness I feel lost
I feel beat, like everything I ever wanted has been lost
Alone I am weak, I am nothing, 
A Failure 
The darkness creeps 
It tears my mind to pieces
It grips my heart and rends it 
I feel so helpless
A man brought to his knees by weakness
A creature who can't even think
What a joke I make
Yet
For years you believed in me
By my side you stood
Every sour note, every angry yell, every tear, every laugh
The highs and the lows
You have been my friend
Teacher, helping hand, guiding light
You were once
My brother

Literature has been one of the defining pillars in my life. My favorite genres are Fantasy and Science Fiction. I tend to focus on High Fantasy but love to toy around with Low and Urban. more..
