I lost so much that morning
Although most are not aware
The tearing pain that ripped my heart
As I saw you lying there.

The rage, the pain, the anger
The questions, guilt and fear
The heartache, void and emptiness
All alone you left me here!!

In the quiet of the night
In the stillness of the dark
Is when you chose to leave this world
And make your final mark.

A mark, a brand, a gaping hole
Left deep, deep, down inside.
So many mixed emotions
Of which I try to hide.

No one knows what hides inside
Or the questions in my mind.
Were you lonely, cold or scared??
Won't ever know the answers; don't even know the time.

The time that you crossed over
From one life to another,
Remains unknown to all of us,
Just the time you were discovered.

The early morning phone call
To tell me you were gone
The screaming of the sirens
Cut the silence of the dawn.

A part of me left with you,
The morning that you died.
Leaving behind an empty shell
No chance to say good-bye.

I miss you more than you'll ever know
Your quirky, unique ways
Your smirking grin and laughter
And times of younger days.

Until we meet again my brother
I'll find you where you are....
The fresh blowing breeze, the clouds in the sky,
The brightest shining star.
