I wrote this in my brother's room, but it doesn't have anything to do with him.

4:30 AM:
A promise broken,
And a repentance begged.

Not for me.
Not for the promise.
But for the dead.

Those who have taken care of you,
And are no longer here.
But you didn't cry

So you do now
As you tell me my flaws,
And pray to God to forgive yours.

4:40 AM:
Five hours have passed.
I say we should go to sleep,

You say I lack maturity.
I stay on,
Watch over you.

You tell me you love me,
I say I love you too.
No, say the whole thing.

I love all of you.
Through small tears shining
Undetectable.
