Open Letter to My Brother
Where are you?
When are you coming back?
How could you not call?
Why would you just leave like that?
I just want to know
So when my children
See you’re missing…
They’ll know why your gone
We were never close
Always distance like ankles and elbows
Separated by a torso
I knew you were down and out
And I failed to be remorseful
I poured salt on an open wound
It eradicated your intent
And left scars on me too
Wanting you to get a slice of the pain
You put me through
Maybe one day
When freedom is just
A stone’s throw away
We can give our relationship
Somewhat of a fresh start
We share the same body
But we’re far apart…
Doing different things
But sharing one heart
I’ve been changing
And adjusting my attitude
I take the high road a little more now
As opposed to just being rude
I get tried of having conversations
Once every 4 years
Where you jump to conclusions
And I make outrageous assumptions
One never trusting the other
Without capricious preconceived notions
Just antsy to make a real connection
So a closed door can open
Well here’s to hoping…
Sincerely, Esha ❤
