About the Poem

This poem means a lot to me. My brother died when I was very young so I didn't have a chance to know him, and it may sound silly but I feel writing this poem brings me closer to him in some way because I feel in my heart that he can actually hear what I say can maybe see what I write. Love Poems

Missing You
by Natalie Harrison
Do you look down at me in the night
Do you see my candle burning so big and so bright
The candle I burn that reminds me of you
The candle I hope that you would burn too.
Not a day goes by where I don't think of you
hoping that you'd come back so the days won't be blue.
I feel no one understands me, apart from you.
I go to your grave expecting a response
to the pointless questions I can't get across.
Though sometimes In my mind I forget that you're dead
but I'll make sure you keep living in my head
I love you so much it makes me so sad
that I can't hear you say it back - the one thing that would make me glad.
You probably think I'm silly when we didn't even know each other
But to me you'll always be my brother.

My brother died 1 month ago. I am only 15 and i lost my brother. i am so thankfull that i got to spend so much time with him. But he was my gaurdian. My parents died and he tool care of me. Nw he is dead and i live with my aunt. i cant believe he is gone, when i wake up in the morning i still think that i can go jump on him to wake him up. He and i were very close. we wrote songs together and were like best friends. I really hate waking up every morning with the feeling that he is not here with me. I remember that he is still with me. because i can feel him. i still have so many thinks and all i can be is thankful. Insted of waking up to my brothers amazing voice, my boyfriend is there. It is a bittersweet life and i am learning to take it day by day I love you Bryan!

I really love this poeme, because I think I know how you feel. My father's wife was expecting a baby. My babybrother. But suddenly, there were some complications and an operation. She wasn't expecting a son anymore. And I wasn't expecting a little babybrother anymore. But I really have a strong feeling I know him, because I've seen him. (Echo) I loved him, I always wanted to have a little brother or sister. I wanted to get to know that babybrother/sister. So much! Unfortunately that's not going to happen anymore. It's very painfull, but by reading this poeme, I know I'm not the only one. Good luck!

A poem that truely touched my very soul. I too lost a brother. He was still born. He was born before me but I feel a huge connection with him. I am a sibling of four but He is the one i know is looking over me. I can feel him guiding me thru life. I cant wait to meet him. I will not be scared of deaths door because i know he will be there waiting too.
