Ode To My Brother

A Poem by Ikram Zetraoui

This poem is about how related I was to my youngest brother. We were just like twins, but we had to be separated from each other just for my best. I came to US for education and he was encouraging me.

Ode To my Brother

You have always been the box where I keep my secrets
I always appreciated the love you used to send
When nobody was there for me,you always got my back
But now that you are so far, I feel so bad
You weren’t only my brother
But also my best friend
Oh my brother, my soulmate, my love
I would never let you go
When I first knew I was leaving home,
Letters of tears sprinkle down on my cheeks
Now that there are between us a million galaxies
I feel that I lost a big and precious piece of my heart
I spend a lot of time thinking about you
And wish to spend just one minute hugging you
