Dear Brother...

You're gasping for air
On that bed
I'm standing on the tube
No more to be said

I'll take your last breath
And keep it in a flask
For my new future
A momento of the past

Some would say this is murder
Flat out
But what of the pain you caused?
The tears that bled out

As you said
Those emotionless words
That stung so deep
Those a thousand burns

Will there be justice for me
I say
On your death bed
Will you finally pay?

As i stood up and spoke
All those times
Our parents twisted words
Forgave all your crimes

You think that i'm stupid
And only a child
But you don't know how you look
So vulgar and vile

You don't know the truth
Of what pain is like
To only see red
To let the anger spike

You haven't seen half
Of the real hell
What it is like to live
In a mental cell

Where there's no light
No portcullis to see
Where sound doesn't exist
And there's no air to breathe

So can you really
Stand there and say
That you've been through
This every day?

I didn't think so
You're only a fraud
Taking from others
What you can't afford

So think a while
While i stand on that tube
Of all the things
You've never been through

But maybe, just maybe
I will step off
And give back your breath
At my happiness' cost

I am a broken toy,
Of no use to anyone,
But if you fix me up,
I'm sure we'll have some fun.

Intresting, I kind of know the feeling. Not nearly the same situation but, feeling sorry for someone and hating there guts at the same time. And then you want to cry because of all the things that they don't understand. And it's just a cycle of emotions that you can't decide on. Great poem, I love the flow of it.
