==Brother- by Ashley Brown==

He listens to her,
No words of hate towards her...
Although a few escape toward others...
Wishing he was with her,
She lets emotions flow...
Sobbing to her brother,
Two states or so away.

He always knows what to say...
And even if he doesn't,
It doesn't matter.
One of the best friends she has...
He's earned the title brother...
And then Mother calls to get off the phone...
And she leaves her brother for Hell.
