Brother

Dark eyes, so much like my own, gaze at me with death.
They were never like that, never so lost within themselves.
An inner turmoil, darkness overwhelming you, taking.
Such fragile chalices of deep, dark chocolate, shattering.

Your body is fragile, wasted, nothing. Long I remember
What you once were such a short time ago.
Strong, yes, unbending an adamantine rod unwilling to
Break.

Now, your soul atrophies before me, slithering silently,
Slowly to pool at your feet.
Intimidation surrounded you like miasma
Frightening me, causing awe as you passed.

A cloud has covered your entirety, Fate woven
With unknown Darkness, uncertainty.
Your sires fade into the distance
Your siblings lost to Time.

Remember us I call to you, remember.
Your back is already turned, ridged.
Remember us, I call to you, remember.
You’ve already gone away.

Dark eyes, so much like my own, gaze at me with death.
They were never like that, never so lost within themselves.
An inner turmoil, darkness overwhelming you, taking.
Such fragile chalices of deep, dark chocolate, shattering.
