Brother

I love this poem so much! Please don't be angry but i have changed it a little bit below. I know what i is about and i know exactly how the brother in it is feeling although that might seem strange to people. hope this is helpful



Oh brother across the stormy grey sea:

estranged from us, estranged from me.

Your promise kept; you stayed away.

I stare across that vast grey sea;

I stare – only for thee.

How I remember that hazy day,

A garden party, and we, what fools.

champagne all around - except for you

you ran - ran far away.

We drank and laughed at empty things,

And filled our heads with compliments,

But you had run away.

I found you by the gate that day,

when across the field they sifted hay.

I turned to you, you looked away.

You spat at the world,

You hissed at me.

You pulled my hair, you laughed at me.

I pushed at you, you pushed at me,

I fell down crying, you scraped your knees.

Oh what a sorry summer's day!

No-one understands, you said,

they could not: you despised it all,

Even the sun-stained ground below.

People; they were your enemies, foes,

It seemed you felt what the Devil knows.

And then you cried, hard and angry sobs,

Cried for things I never had known.

You left me then, there all alone.

you ran away, across that sea,

I still hear your sobs – please, can you hear me?
