The Day My Brother Died

In Memory Of Billy Britton

I never was there Bill like I should have been.
I should have paid attention but never did.
I thought you were kidding Bill I didn't know you were being real.
I can't believe this happened, I never will.
I should have told you I love you and I would help in anyway, but instead I had nothing to say.
I knew you were hurting and didn't know how to explain, but you are my brother I should have helped in someway.
I never thought you would die until that day I got a call and was told you took your own life.
All I could do was sit and cry.
I asked God why I didn't get to say goodbye.
I am so sorry I wasn't near to listen to your despair.
Maybe if I was there, you would still be here.
I thought maybe when I arrived you would still be alive, but everyone looked at me with tear filled eyes.
I knew then you never survived.
I miss you so much it hurts deep within.
I have so many questions but the time has come to an end.
Until we meet again you will always be in my heart, mind, and soul.
I love you Bill,
and I always will.

Written in memory of Billy by his sister.
