Farewell to a brother who was tortured........ |
You snuffed that God given gift of flame One cut and all was over Blood ran, life force drained, you ended it all Death took you voluntarily, in his dark embrace Covering you with his cloak, Whisking you away, to the dark Have you finally found peace? Does your soul now roam free? Brother mine, you broke me In your constant bid to be free Brother mine, you left me With turmoil in your wake Answers that will never see the light of day Guilt devours each memory of you With your voice now silent You spoke volumes in death What were you hoping to achieve? Where were you hoping your journey would end? What answers did you think you would receive? What fences had you failed to amend? Brother mine, don’t you know? Did you never see or comprehend? Brother mine, did you not hear? Redemption was always yours One moment, one touch, one word Would that have been enough to sustain you? One soul to another, one anchor to hold you Would this have been sufficient to keep you Your last thoughts lost to the void Your last breath, lone in the night You simply gave up, refused to fight Black. Lost. Darkness engulfed your soul. Brother mine, wherever you may now be For you to be finally free is my deepest hope Brother mine, whoever you may now be To me, you will always be Brother mine |
