My Dear Ronald

2591860A-BA01-48AE-A42E-0E6B64D644EFI don’t know how to start this off other than saying that I love you,

My world hasn’t been the same since you left I just don’t know what to do,

I tried to tell myself Angel you have to move on I tried to let your death go,

I try not to wear the hurt and pain on my face I try not to let my despair show,

I think of you each and every millisecond of each and every day and night,

I try not to question God,,cause in my heart taking you just wasnt right,

I still can remember like yesterday the second that I realized you were gone,

It was like waking up to nothingness no sun,,no moon,,no clouds,,no wind,,no dawn,

I am beyond heartbroken brother I doubt if I’ll ever be the same,

Wishing for just one more moment  with you just to her you call my name,

I would trade anything in this world just to hear you laugh one more time,

Material things are worthless when I can’t talk to and touch what once was mine,

You were way more than just a brother you were the other half of me,

The second Katrina took  your soul she then rendered me hopeless and incomplete,

Sometimes I have some good days and sometimes I barely can get by,

I just wasnt prepared for the day that my little brother would die,

I miss you isn’t even the words that could ever describe how I feel,

Your passing really did a number on me one that time could never begin to heal,

I wish you would have had some kids so I could watch them grow,

To tell them things about their father some things they might had wanted to know,

I still can’t believe my kids can’t see your beautiful smile upon your handsome  face,

All the t-shirts and mementos in the world could never ever take your place,

Pictures isn’t good enough anymore,,Ronald I need you by my side,

I need my brother to fight with and to put me in check when I show too much pride,

I hate not hearing your crazy stories about what you’re getting into next,

I hate not reading your poetic words or you giving me a cypher to dissect,

We was supposed to grow up to be famous writers that was our dream,

Do you remember Ronald, we use to call ourselves The Williams Dream Team,

My heart is in shambles I still can’t believe it I think of you every single day,

I think about 8-29-2005 and what would have happen if you came by me and stayed,

Thinking to myself would 7-29-2006 still be the day we layed your body to rest,

Wishing I would’ve said brother come on,,come by me you can be my guest,

I’m kinda lucky tho cause I talked to you the day before you died,

We told each other I love you we laughed we fussed and we cried,

Not even having a clue just 24 hours later you wouldn’t be here,

Ronald Antonio Williams I will love and Miss you eternally,

                          Your forever in my heart and soul,

                                            My Dear!!

  1. wow girl! Just wow… this truly touched me. I know what it feels like to lose a fam that is close to you.. but I cannot imagine losing a brother because I am the only child. I am sorry for you loss and I feel you emotions/pain. Everything in life happens for a reason.. some things we don’t know why and we question God for… he’s in a better place.. doesn’t have to suffer anymore. This is a great reminder to cherish each moment with you loved ones because you never know when they may be gone. Thanks for sharing and continue to be strong. Beautiful poem, indeed.

    1. Thanks so much,,I have a lot more better days now,,but at first I was a basket case,,smh. I love him so much and theres still so many unanswered questions its just something I had to put on paper. Always thanks for the support!!
