A decade’s gone by
Since your last sigh
A haunting reminder
Our relationship died
Long before
I never cried
Cold hands
That never held pride
For my brother
Or for I
Your empty lies
Your endless chides
It was no surprise
The end brought nothing
But fragmented goodbyes
Hope is felled
As silence swells
Muted yells
And hidden tells
Are bitter reminders
That absence quells
With no one left
To hear the bells
