Confessions Of A Bound Soul Poem by Amanda Saveley

Confessions Of A Bound Soul

Rating: 3.6


Brother, my brother,
How selfish was I
While you seemed to struggle,
I sat idly by

Brother, my brother
Yes, try as I might
I now realize
It was also my fight

Brother, my brother
Now look at your arm
It's cold and immovable
Lost all its charm

Brother, my brother
Now look at your leg
There's so much left missing
Yet not once did you beg

Brother, my brother
Though I lost more in mass
It is you far more haunted
By our mistakes in the past

Brother, dear brother
Listen when I say
I will stick by your side
Until this goes away

Brother, dear brother
Listen when I say
I will stick by your side
Until our final day

What a beautiful poem. I can almost completely relate to the entire piece. You did a great job at writing a poem that was simple and engaging.

I think this is really beautiful. The language is not too overbearing and it just holds so much emotion. I really loved it. Were you inspired by Fullmetal Alchemist?
