my dear little brother
i hope you understand
what's going on
if you don't
then
i'm dead by now
ask mom and dad
they can explain
your older sister is gone
will you be happy?
because no one will bug you
no one will tell you what to do
when mom and dad aren't home
i sure do hope you won't forget the happy times
don't forget when we
washed the car in the rain last year
or when we
toilet papered grammy's house two years ago
or when we
had a food fight at summer camp three years ago
or when we
watched our only dog give birth four years ago
or when we
face painted each other's faces when we were home alone five years ago
or when we
tickled each other until we fell asleep six years ago
or when we
built a fort in the living room seven years ago
or when
your older sister killed herself this year
i would've loved to seen you grow up into a
handsome young man
but your older sister just had enough of this world
make mom and dad happy, alright?
i love you
and i'm sorry, dominic
