Phone rings
It's you again
Calling often
Like a best friend
The circumstances are obvious
Unforgiven madness wells up
All you wanted was a family
You just had to go through the motions
No one cared
Not a soul was there
On a planet with billions of people
You were always alone
We moved on with our own lives
Never knowing that someday
She
Would be our reason for reconnection
Twelve years
Twelve years without a big sister
Ten years knowing you had a nephew
Eight years since her and I last spoke
On your last glimpse of her
She kicked you out
Just like she did to me
You were older and not a source of income
She would never have that kind living under her roof
You deserve better than they could give you
You deserve to know someone cares
I care for you
I always have and always will
We chatted online some years ago
I told you I loved you
You were uncertain
Saying that love might come with time
It's always been there
Little brother
I hope you see that now
