ASL Brothers

Warm Memories and Brotherly Bonds

I watched as he laughed
He finally had people to accept him.
I smiled,
Who said he wasn't allowed to be happy?
Or that he shouldn't have been born?

He had always been an inferno of rage and loathing
But it seemed that inferno simmered down
Turning into a small campfire,
I remembered what he was like after our brother -Sabo- died
Bloodthirsty and vengeful like a demon,
But then, he remembered,
He had to look after me
His younger brother

We're the same,
Both children of criminals
He thinks I don't know but I do,
Me and my older brother are the sons of wanted criminals
Told that our existence is a sin.

The three of us aren't real brothers
Though, we're closer than real siblings could ever hope to be.
We're all we have
Well now I guess it's had

Now he's found people he wants to protect,
That he would do anything for,
It's not just me and Sabo in his life anymore.

I remember all of this while he dies in my arms
I say the last words I ever will to my only big brother left,
“Goodbye Ace.”

With that the ASL Trio was no more.
Now it is just a L
L for lonely I suppose.

Ace and Sabo died,
Leaving their little brother Luffy all alone
Until the day I too die,
And see their smiling faces once again.
