as the chemo kills...

This is to my brother who is and always will be my hero.He battled Osteosarcoma (deadly bone cancer) his sophomore year in high school.

When I walk into that dark hospital room I see dreams that’s have been broken

I hear millions of words that will forever be left unspoken

I see your beautiful dark brown hair scattered all over that pillow

I pray to god asking him to take me instead

I constantly have flashbacks of your pail lifeless body lying in that hospital bed

Your face… it was so kind and gentle

Your words... your very few actions they all appeared so desperate

Your weak smile was like a dull knife stabbing deep into my heart

There’s not anything that I wouldn’t give to let you have a brand new start

I remember the good times we had

I let them go when things went bad

This is to you my brother, the one I pray to be like

The one who went through it all

The one who put up a fight

They said you would die...

That you would never walk again...

That night we cried together but it wasn’t the end

I wiped away those painful tears

 I dreamed of the times we played together all of those years

I just knew you would keep fighting

Dear god how I prayed you would win

I wanted to sleep in your bed that night knowing there was a chance of never seeing you again

I remember those long years like they were yesterday

You overcame the odds we still laugh together today

Here is to faith

Here is to your fight

Here is to you my loving brother
