As days became weeks,

And weeks became months,

I grew to envy,

The only brother I had,

At first I saw him,

Almost as important as Father,

I gradually realized,

He could do everything,

Better than me.

Every time I tried to impress Father,

My brother outshined me.

I always ask myself,

Why couldn’t I,

Have been reanimated,

Before my brother?

I can barely remember,

When or how I died.

Every time I saw him,

My two conflicting feelings,

Threatened to tear me apart,

I kept asking myself,

How can you love someone you envy?

I could not answer.

I had to move on.
