I am alone
No parents
The wind whispers to give up
To succumb to the pain
Of loss
The hospital sends me to public school
I am different
I am alone
Tears fall down my face like a waterfall
I walk aimlessly to the graveyard
Where my mother and father eternally sleep
Their graves cast shadows
On the wilted pink flowers
Two solitary stones
Two shards of my heart
Two memories lost from my brother
Two broken hearts
The next day
I bring my brother
Still thin as a stick
In a metal wheelchair
I show him a picture
I share all my love
I mask my pain
He remembers
His crystal tears streak
Down his pale cheek
White like a ghost
His shoulders heave
Do you remember me
I ask
He shakes his head
The tears come flooding my eyes
I'm searching his brown eyes for something
