This poem is about a boy who will do anything to save his brother
Dead is my heart, so people say
To have nothing and no one to get in my way
To have but work in absence of fun
Always on the move but nowhere to run
That is what she tells me when I fight for him
When all hope fails and the lights are dim
When everything I love is but a duel away
What do I have at the end of the day?
I had him til he captured his soul
I have to get him back, lest my heart turn to coal
He is the one that I care for everyday
When nothing good ever comes my way
He betters my life and lights up the way
What do I have at the end of the day?
Now you tell me what should I do
Leave him to die and lose his soul?
Let all the good times turn to dust?
I have to get him back, I must
He loves me in every way
What do I have at the end of the day?
I may have won but the fights not over
It will be hard but I wont run for cover
I've come too far to lose this duel
By the time I'm done with him he'll look like a fool
Now to go in and rekindle the flame
To get back the one thing that's always the same
But first I must listen to her rant and rave
About how I'll never have friends and my heart"s like a cave
She goes on and on about how bad I am
But never stops to give a damn
So I'll grab my things and do my deed
And all I'll say is "I've got all that I need."
