The Reunion
I remember the day we were torn apart
The day I lost my other half
We were young and naive
But too young to know
That I wouldnt be coming home
We grew up with an addict of a mother
Even though she didnt care for us
We took care of each other
Grew up with a Ladies man for a father
Who flirted and reproduced with everyone
but his own mother
We knew we could count on each other
That we would always be there for each other
But we were seperated
I was taken from all of you
We were split up and divided up
We all went our seperate ways
As if we were a black family being auctioned off
one by one to the highest bidder
Many years later
We found each other
We reconnected
It felt like the way things used to be
You know when I was not half the person I used to be
I promise brother
I will not leave you again
I promise I will take care of you
You will not have to suffer again
I told him....
But all he said was...
I used to believe that brother
When I was young and naive
But you left me
You left all of us
Why come back now?
I came to see how you are
Who you are
and where you've been
No brother.
This isnt a reunion
this isnt a get together
This is me telling you
That I dont need you
That I suffered
and you werent there
Leave brother....
Im not longer young and naive
I came to find my other half....
No brother..
I found my other half....
No...
So I walked away..
Tossed the rose down
As his body was being lowered into the ground
All he said was...
Brother welcome Home....
