My Brother

The part of me that I love to hate
Or hate to love, it's all the same
The feeling that you can never name
Missing him is a terrible weight

The part of me that I wish was here
He left so long ago
But I want him to know
Though I haven't seen him for many a year

Still I love him after all he did
After all, we were young
But his words, still they stung
But I will forgive him, he was just a kid

Just to see him one more time
I would die
But all I have to do is cry
Not seeing him is an awful crime

My brother, my long lost friend

Author notes

I wrote this about my brother who I haven't seen in 7 years. I miss him so much.

    Oh my so sad!!! It made me want to cry....people say things, and hurt us, butit's always far more painful when it's family. 7 is a good number, you should consider forgiving him, and contacting him...I'm so sorry for the rift in your relationship

    Thanks for sharing this, and entering my contest,

    Luck.

    I would reread this and edit it to make it more concise, and have the ideas flow instead of just popping up for the rhyme.

    OMG. what an amazing poem. Man you really got me crying. I wish I could see my sister. Even though I didn't even know her. I still love her.

      I understand how you feel. I would have had an older brother, but he died before I was born. Lately I've been wondering what he would have been like.

    This is an amazing poem. I really enjoyed reading this piece. Tre really didn't leave, though. He's 3 yrs younger than me. my biological mother put me up for adoption, then a few years later, she had him and he lives with his aunt. but this is an excellent poem, none the less. Thanks for entering!

    Best of luck!
