 "Only Family"  by George Ahmad

 I'm all alone in the rain, trying to bide;

I wished you were here by my side.

I tried to find your crying call,

But instead I heard my regret in the squall.

"I don't own you", you swore;

I felt like you don't need me anymore.

I have made the wrong decision,

And now I am empty, with no vision.

We've fallen apart, it's true;

And now you've left me with no clue.

The days and nights reveal the truth,

Of how much I've longed for you like a missing tooth.

You are here, yet I feel like my family is myself;

Brother Sun can't just leave alone by himself.

Rose, my Sister Moon, my only family.

I'll always need you, I'll always long for you.

I wished you never left my side;

But, if you ever change your mind,

I will be right here, waiting for you.

Now matter how hard my heart breaks,

I will be right here with open arms.

For you are my Sister Moon.

For you are... my only family. 


 * Notes: George and his twin sister, Rose, has been through a lot of challenges ever since their mother, Minerva, was killed by an intruder when they were eleven years old. George, being more emotionally stronger than Rose, protected her with all his life, while enduring the hardships they encountered as slaves with the intruder pulling the strings. However, upon reaching the Broken Covenant, Rose fell in love with another girl, which George disagreed at first. But when Rose decided on leaving, he tried pleading for her not to, but she doesn't. She leaves for a while, and comes back, wounded and scarred from the outside world. She blames all of it to him for being so controlling of her, and now George regrets it, being a child of Epimetheus. He wrote this poem not only as a poem of apology to her, but as a reminder that even if you turn the hat around, he'll always be her brother and vice versa and most of all, the only family George has for the rest of his life.
