We were linked to each other for nine month's feat <br />With a wiry nerve in womb of our struggling mother. <br />We shared each breath together and each heartbeat. <br />You cared for me more than just an earthly brother. <br /> <br />You let me take all nourishments, denying yourself <br />And your such kindness made you so weak, weak. <br />Perceiving my existence you offered me your help. <br />The existence that strived hard being deathly sick. <br /> <br />Brother! We were born together in this misty earth <br />But you were too, too weak to adapt and to survive. <br />Weakening yourself, you made me strong by birth. <br />Dying, you left this earthly pyre in day number Five. <br /> <br />But you have not died my martyr brother, my twin <br />For every atom in my blood, breath resembles you. <br />Once I lived with you, for you and now you live in <br />My whole being and my dual existence ever-new. <br /> <br /> <br />(In memory of my twin brother who died on his infancy of 5th day)<br /><br />Osman Gani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-who-died-for-me/
