I get so sick at the thought
Of fluorescent lights
Of cold air
Of ugly tile
And nurses
Who smile a little too wide
For it to mean anything
But nothing makes me sicker
Than the thought of my brother
All skin and bones
With pain that never quit
And doctors that were never right
Lying in that hospital bed
With the light gone from his eyes
And the life gone from his heart
As his body finally gave up
And as sick as that makes me
Ive never known anyone as sick
As my brother
And as strange as it may seem
Ive never known anyone quite as nice,
Either
But I guess he was too good for this world
Or maybe the world felt bad
For all it had put him through
Or maybe the world was angry
That after everything hed been through
He was never bitter
Or maybe
He was tired of fighting
And if anyone ever had a right to give up
It was him
I just wish that I had a chance
To help him build that tree house
And talk to him more often
And play one more game of cards
And let him teach me how to cook
And take him on adventures
And tell him that I loved him
Because I didnt do that enough
And if anyone deserved to be told that they were loved
It was him
Too bad I didnt tell him enough
Because I wasnt used to it
And its too bad his grave doesnt have any flowers
Because I cant do it
And its too bad
That all the best people
Are six feet under
And six feet out of reach
