(023)▪︎[ To Your Only Brother … 2024 ]

[ Dear Brother Brent ]


[ You Wish You Could Have Been With Him The Night That He Went ]
[ Maybe You Could Have Camped Outside Of Their   Apartment ]
[ In A Tent ]

[ Into His Deep ]
[ Restful Sleep ]


[ Hardly A Day Goes By ]
[ When He Is Not Close To Your Thoughts ]
[ Making You Want To Break Down & Have Yet ANOTHER Good Cry ]

[ What Good Would That Do You? ]
[ Nothing Good Comes From One Though ]
[ How Would You Know When You Are Through? ]

[ When His Death Happened, One Cry Lead In To The Next ]
[ What You Would Have Given ]
[ To Receive Just One More Text ]

[ Or Phone Call ]
[ Where We Would Continuously Tease Each Other ]
[ Because Neither One Of You Is Remotely Considered To Be Tall ]

[ It Was All Good & Fun ]
[ When You Would Call Yourself ]
[ The Taller & Better Looking One ]

[ You Wish That The Last Text Messages Were More Positive Than They Were ]
[ In A Way ]
[ His Responses Left You Feeling Hurt ]

[ You Never Should Have Expected Him To Be Serious ]
[ But You Were More Than Just A Bit Curious ]

[ You Never Thought That Those Would Be The Last Ones That You Would Get ]
[ If You Did, You Wouldn’t Have Text About A Topic That You Have Come To Regret ]

[ Will You Ever Forgive Yourself? ]
[ Does Forgiveness Have To Come From Somewhere Else? ]

[ From Outside Of Your Own Mind? ]
[ Will It Come From Being On The Path To Going Dakine? ]
[ What Could You Be Looking For To Find? ]
[ Will Things Ever Be Fine? ]

[ Again? ]

[ Probably Not ]

||  The End  ||

(389)▪︎[ Regrets … 4•19•2020 ]

[ Whenever My Brother Brent Called, I’d Ask
( HEY BRENT ) ]
[ ( HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? ) ]
[ Ever Since He Passed ]
[ I Can Never Ask That Again ]

[ He Has Gone & Now Is Pain Free ]
[ For That I Smile With Glee ]
[ Now It’s Just Grief, For Me ]

[ No This Is Not A Pity Party I’m Throwing For Myself ]
[ I Leave Those ]
[ For Someone Else ]

[ I Have A Hole ]
[ In My Soul ]
[ Where When He Was Here ]
[ I Felt Whole ]

[ Once We Met I Felt That I Found My Twin ]
[ We Never Argued ]
[ Because Neither One Of Us Would Win ]

[ I Admired So Much About Him, Too ]
[ But Now I’m Blue ]

[ The Saying ( IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE SOMEONE FLOWERS
MAKE SURE THEY ARE AROUND TO RECEIVE THEM ) Is Spot On ]
[ Same Goes For Kind Words ]
[ Don’t Wait Until They Are Gone ]

[ Admitting That You Are Wrong ]
[ Does Not Mean You Are Not Strong ]

[ You Are Not A Disgrace ]
[ If You Apologize To Someone’s Face ]
[ Always Make Sure It’s The Right Time ]
[ & The Right Place ]

[ But When It Comes To My Brother, I Bet ]
[ It’s Going To Take Me Years ]
[ To Get ]
[ Over My Regrets ]

[ Just A Little Piece Of Advice ]
[ Don’t Think Twice ]
[ About Doing Or Saying Something Nice ]

[ To The One’s You Care About ]
[ Don’t Leave A Shred Of Doubt ]

[ & Give It Your All ]
[ When You Give Them A Call ]

[ Should I Have Been There … I Don’t Know ]
[ Who Is The One That Sits Down & Says So? ]

[ So, This Note I Will Send ]
[ To My Brother & Friend ]
[ ( I LOVED YOU TO THE VERY END ) ]
