TO MY BIG BROTHER, MY BEST FRIEND

by Justine Nigro   Aug 2, 2006


****This is pretty self explanitory. I wrote it about my brother/best friends death RIP Bro I love you and Miss You Everyday****

Here we are coming up
On five years since your death
Since the night that you were killed
And in my arms took your last breath
You wernt only my big brother
You were my best friend
And September 24th 2001
Your life came to an end
We went through so much together
We really struggled after dad walked out
It was hard for mom to make ends meet
But because of you we never went without
You were the only one i could turn to
The only one I could really trust
I don\'t aprove of all the things you did
Though I know it was all for us
But maybe if you\'d done it the legal way
You would still be here
For along time I had no one
To wipe away my tears
You always said if you had to
That you would die for me
But never in a million years
Did I take that literally
But I guess you really meant it
Because that night you did
Those bullets should have hit me
When I was just a little kid
But you took them for me
And you saved my life
But it wasnt the first time
You actually did it twice
I wish you hadnt done it
I would have rather it been me
Because ever since that day
I think of you constantly
You died in my arms
And i still remember your last words
You looked at me and you said
\"Always remember I love you babygirl\"
I never forgot that
And I think I never will
And even though we\'re apart
I know your with me still
I still have that Precious moments
With the Saphire in the shape of a heart
I guard it will my life
Keep it close to my heart
I miss you everyday
Your always on my mind
I know I\'ll see you again
When it is my time
Your probably up there with Grandpa
Drinking a beer like old times
Arguing over nothing
And watching over my life
I know youd want me to be happy
And I want you to know I am
I have a great man in my life
I know youd aprove of him
He spoils me just like you
Makes sure i get everything I need
And also everything i want
And I know that he loves me
But when I walk down the isle next october
Its gonna make me sad
You were suposed to give me away
But now it will have to be dad
It wasnt suposed to be like this
You werent suposed to die
My kids will never know uncle Luke
Theyll have to know he in the sky
I\'ve never gone through anything that hard
And I don\'t thnk I ever will
But all though your gone from this world
Your in my heart and my memories still
R.I.P. Luke I LOVE YOU!!!!!

    This is really good. I love this poem a lot. I kinda now how you feel. Losing someone that you cared so much about and that you went through alot with. I dont think anyone should have to go through it, but everyone does. Great poem and awesome emotions. 5/5!

    p.s. u have a spelling error in the last line, i'm guessing it should say 'luke i love u', but it says 'like i love u'.
