Brother

[FlowerChild]

You walked away and left me, not even bothering to say goodbye in the early morning hours maybe you knew I would cry and I woke in the silence and looked in the room across from mine but you weren't there anymore it was like you had died. From then on you were like a shadow fading in and out never really there and I get what you were running from but why not take me with you, Brother? Were you as young as I, as helpless, as alone maybe you would have understood and but you just left me to stew in that mess, with not so much as a goodbye, take care, good luck, I'll keep in touch, or I'm sorry. And you went to live with the man who betrayed us all and left me with the couple who couldn't stand each other and halfway couldn't stand me, as a constant reminder of what was at stake. I was a mistake to leave me, but I was never your responsibility, and that's why I forgave you;you could never could have survived if you had stayed...you always bruised so easily. 

 

 

 

***Excuse the long absence, lack of inspiration, writers block, yada yada yada... I missed you all.***

Thanks for the warm welcome! Lots and lots of love, and some healed wounds :)

Long absence excused. Welcome back. There's hurt, but also love in these words.
