Never Ending Rain

by Kristi Maxim

You had to go and that is understood. Things just weren't right here for you. The feeling you have given me Has left me alone, standing alone. I'm almost certain that you can see. During your absence it has given me time To think of ways I can escape this. To run away from the pain. Nothing ever seems to work It's almost like a never ending rain. With you there and me here standing alone I worry for the day to come The day when we are further apart You won't be there in the coming year, To help me through things, but you will be in my heart. There is also a fear of being detached, Of being separate for so long. We have progressed through the years. The times we have shared merely brightened my day And now all I can do is shed the tears. The hurt that I am feeling right now, I know that you can feel it inside. But I want you to remember that once its through, You will always be my big brother, Someone whom I will forever look up to.
