To My Brother

Kuren, my brother, and I have gone through hell and back together. We used to despise each other, but then we realized all we needed was each other to get our lives on track. He's the best, always.

To a brother I have hated and loved,

Regretted and missed,

Bullied and comforted,

I am sorry. 

For when you were screaming,

Fighting and trying,

Pleading and grieving,

Heartbroken and crying,

I laughed so hard. 

When I needed you,

Who was there? You,

Who kept me from leaving? You,

Who always believed me? You,

I appreciated all of it. 

And now we're blooming,

Laughing and joking,

Play fighting and drinking,

Loving and caring,

I would never give it up. 

Author's Note

I didn't do much of a flow, but I tried to keep the lines' endings similar.
Comments are appreciated.
Thanks for reading~

This captures emotion well. It's quite lovely, I think most people with siblings understand these feelings.

To me, flow matters little but it is the emotion that comes across that is what makes good poetry. And this does. I love you true and relatable this is. Great job and thank you for sharing!

Good stuff. Very personal.
One of the lines felt awkward to me. ("Regretted and missed") But it may have a deeper meaning that I didn't pick up on. The rest of the piece spoke clearly to me though

In the first section of this poem I tried to relate the conflicted feelings I had towards him for a while. I Regretted him being my brother, but I also missed him when we separated and went different paths.
I hope that makes it seem clearer =]
