You reek of injustice
A brother you once were—
I cursed at myself
As shock took over my body

You ruined me
Deprived me of everything
Corrupted my thoughts
Created the monster that sits beside my conscience

I just wanted a childhood
We we're only a few years apart
They say love your enemy
But I cannot fathom the simplest idea,
Of loving you.
