The Pain That Never Goes Away

They say that the pain goes away, that these feelings get easier with time. But I'm not to sure they're right. With this pain deep inside, my will to fight starts to die. I feel it clawing at my lungs; wanting to explode out while the air leaves my chest and everything's a mess. How could you leave me here to do this on my own? When we both know that you were the strength, the change that everyone could see. The pain eats me alive; while I cry myself to sleep I know you're watching over me. If that's all the comfort I'm able to muster, I'll take it, my brother, for I know we will see each other again.
