That was the day I died inside
That day, his last, I fell apart
That was the moment the world stopped
All that time gone wrong, it finally stopped

I can't say I loved him like a sister should
He never grew up
Was never all there
I wasn't sure he was really one of us

But he attached himself to me
And hung on with all he had
I don't know why, but I know for sure
That he wasn't real to me

I didn't want to love my brother
But why, I couldn't say
He was barely a wisp of life
Alone, innocent and weak

When he left, I stopped trying
He brought the tears out of my eyes
As if still alive, he pushed me farther than I wanted to go
Down into the depths of myself

So now I cry
I cry for him
The brother I never loved
The brother who never truly lived
Who with his final breath it seemed,
Somehow also killed the life in me
