My Brothers

Wed, 04/24/2019 - 21:45 -- Cattzy

You came into our home

I could tell you felt alone

 

Your brother looked so scared

I thought I really cared

 

Little did I know

I’d soon love you head to toe

 

We treated you like family

You learned to live so happily

 

Yet to your mother you still went

Your love for us was like a dent

 

Which she soon realized was there

She couldn’t help but to care

 

She had been doing oh so well

Because of that we couldn’t tell

 

What had sprouted int hat mess

As she met you less and less

 

It happened in a dollar store

You couldn’t love her anymore

 

Your brother didn’t understand

Anything about her plan

 

But you I knew you really could

Because you cried right where you stood

 

Your mom had given up on you

I was not afraid that we would too

 

Me, I trusted my parent’s decision

But you must have known from the beginnin’

 

That they wouldn’t keep you

Them and everyone else too

When that family took you away

To both of you I wanted to say

 

That no matter what you thought

My love it was not bought

 

Because as you’ll soon find out

We did receive a small amount

 

But we would have done it anyway

For you I would have found a way

 

Instead of leaving me to speak

Anthony turned me to his cheek

 

He refused to give me just one hug

Leaving me to tug and tug

 

For two years you were my you were my brothers

Then all of a sudden i was without another

 

Your new family they did lie

Leaving me to cry and cry

 

They cut off contact and blamed it on us

To help you thrive we stayed hopeless

 

I’m sorry
