Three more days
And it will be a year.
A year since the day
I was told there was
Something missing.

Three more days
And I will have survived
That year,
Missing something
Very dear.

Three more days
And maybe the pain will fade
As the aniversary
Of that day
Comes and goes.

Three more days
And I'll be reminded
Of the light
That was given off and
Is now missing.

Three more days
And I'll be reminded
That the light
Has burnt out
And it remains dark.

Three more days
And I'll be here
Thinking about
How much I miss that
Something missing

Three more days
And it will be
My day of mourning
Wishing I could see
My brother once again.
