I wrote this poem:

On losing my brother 

The whole thought of it makes me feel lonely
a kind feeling only certain people feel
a feeling of emptyness
a time of wishing you'd something diffrent 
You tell me its easy to be strong again
but thats because you've never seen your brother or your best friend dying right in front
of you
But now i understand that every hug means so much more than that, or when you say good
buy that it can really mean good buy forever
This is the beginning of a painful time I say to myself as i lay on the deck
It is time to say good buy 
time to try to carry on my life 
It seems yesterday i had my best friend here
If only you had hugged me one more time 
But know you are gone for ever now and i have to restart
