when I first found out the news this morning
I didn't want to believe it was true

because these things happen to other people
to strangers
not to me

these things happen in shitty reality TV shows
and yellow pages
not to me

my brother would've been fifteen by now

I never knew I could grieve so much for someone I never knew
someone who was never born
his life cut short for reasons I will never understand

and I am mad
I am heartbroken
and I want to scream and cry
though nothing comes out
I am still waiting for someone to tell me it's not true

I don't know where to put it
all that love I have for this human being I never got the chance to meet
