I Miss You, My Brother, My Star

by Nikki
(Mississauga, Ontario)

I'm a fourteen year old girl who wishes she lived in her dreams.
Dreams where you did not die, you came back for me.

I wonder why you smiled while a sadness filled you deep,
How could you fall so far and never admit you weep.

I wish I had a chance to give you love like you deserved,
But I've learned my lesson to love others, I promise, rest assured.

I miss you with a broken heart, lying so unhealed,
My heart's thousands of pieces love a thousand times more real.

I swear I would have died for you.
Why couldn't you live for me?

All I wanted was a friend,
But I wanted one to keep.

At least know when I'm sad and and I feel you've left me all alone
I can look up at you, my star, knowing that in the sky, you've finally found your home.
