The meaning of loss

To lose so many,
When you know so few,
Leaves a pain in your heart,
Makes you want to start anew

You were our brother,
Our support,
And our lover

You were our shoulder,
Our heart and mind,
You provided us shelter,
And were never unkind

We never could have thought this,
What did we do wrong?
What did we miss?
How could you be gone?

Like an angel watching over us,
Your presence is still felt,
Can't believe you really left us,
Feels like our hearts have melt.

We'll love you forever,
We'll try to smile,
Don't know if it will ever get better,
We'll cover our faces with masks of denial

We love you,
Big brother Ben
We'll remember you,
In every way we can
