The call

You knew it would come

All your life.

The call with the news

He was gone.

Knowing it would happen

Didn't make it easier.

Knowing how it happend

Made it more difficult.

Thinking I could have done

More to help.

The call with the news

He was gone.

Author's Note

Haven't written in a long time. This was something that has been kicking around in my head since my brother died in October 2006. It will probably surface in a couple of different voices. One involves a burrito.
