Before the Dawn

All the pain you've caused
now that you're gone.
Your family weeps for the life you've lost.

How could you do this?

Mom cries every day
and dad curses your name
in the low light of the sinking sun
while I toss pepples in the pond,
thinking of the time
before the dawn.

You were the worst brother
and yet the best
while I held you as you cried,
cursing your life
because it wasn't what you wanted.

Why would you do this?

Mom cries every day
and dad curses your name
in the low light of the sinking sun
while I toss pepples in the pond,
thinking of the time
before the dawn.

Now that you're gone
I can't hear your voice
as it sang sweet lullabies to me
so I made a lullaby for you.

Why did you walk away?

Mom cries every day
and dad curses your name
in the low light of the sinking sun
while I toss pepples in the pond,
thinking of the time
before the dawn.

You didn't realize how much you were loved
until you held your last breath,
lying in my bed as I cried on your heart

before the dawn.
