You taught me to share
Everything
My toys
My room
Attention

You were my first friend and enemy
My shadow
My student
My sidekick

Fellow groupie to our senior
The first members of his fan club

Faces from the same mold
Made unrecognizable
By masks

Blood runs thicker than water
But not love

Moments between memories
Lost time
Inside jokes left out

You took
Everything
My heart
My hope
My family

Fragmented words
Thoughts
Hopes
Disappointment

Scattered pieces of a past
Shattered by the present
