His hair just like mine

His face just like mine

His personality just like mine

His ambition just like mine

My hair is is always messy

My face shows signs of insomnia

My personality like an empty 55 gallon drum

My ambition removed from my soul

He laughed like me

He faught like me

He danced like me

He ate like me

I can’t remember laughing without hurting inside

Now I fight the loneliness within

The urge to dance stripped from my soul

Food barely once a day

He died in less then ten minutes

I died just after that

They don’t know who did it

My last breath will be me finding who did

A family of 9 turns to a family of 8

That loss of one is 1 loss too many

Yes I am wounded now

The blood of the warrior within still rushes inside my viens

He will live within my soul and guide me to his killer

The wrath of centuries of warriors will be heard for miles around

He deserved to live

HE DESERVED TO LIVE

    dear Rob, I feel for you so much. My sister died not long ago and I know just how much you feel the loss, but for his life to be taken like that ,and not from natural causes, is doubly tragic. I hope writing your poem helped a bit, it did that for me and I hope they catch the murderer. Keep your memories always in your heart. hugs XX Jacqi

    A family of 9 turns to a family of 8
    That loss of one is 1 loss too many
    Yes I am wounded now

    Very poignant verse.

    My brother lost is his life in a car accident. There were 6 siblings in all.
    My father would introduce us—lovely—.. as number 1, 2, 3, etc. I was #5. My brother was #3.
    It hurts to this day when people ask me how many brother’s and sister’s I have and it hurts b/c we only 5.
    There are no words that can comfort your loss.
    Speak of him often, remember all his good/bad, remember his laugh, and his spirit will live on forever.
    Peace friend.
