1. Forever in My Heart

By Sara Thompson

You left this world too soon, dear brother,
Leaving behind a void that's hard to bear.
But in my heart, you live on forever,
In memories, laughter, and silent prayers.

The moments we shared, etched in my mind,
The bond we had, unbreakable and strong.
Though you're gone, your spirit I still find,
Guiding me through life, when things go wrong.

I miss the sound of your infectious laugh,
The warmth of your presence, so pure and true.
Yet, in moments of darkness and deep despair,
I find solace, knowing I'll always have you.

2. Untitled

By James Anderson

The day you left, a piece of me died,
A void inside that cannot be filled.
The pain, relentless, forever amplified,
As memories of your smile, I try to rebuild.

We shared a bond, a brotherly connection,
Our lives entwined, like vines on a wall.
Now I walk this path in silent reflection,
Hoping to hear your voice, to feel your call.

The world moves on, indifferent and unaware,
While I carry this burden, heavy as stone.
Yet, in my heart, you'll always be there,
A guiding light, never truly alone.

3. In the Realm of Dreams

By Emily Roberts

In the realm of dreams, we meet again,
Where time stands still, and pain dissolves.
Your presence, ethereal, eases the pain,
As our souls reunite, never to evolve.

I see your smile, radiant and bright,
Hear your laughter, like a gentle breeze.
In this realm, where love takes flight,
We find solace, and our hearts find ease.

But morning comes, and reality takes hold,
The dream dissipates, leaving an ache inside.
Yet, I find comfort, knowing you're my stronghold,
In memories and dreams, forever by my side.
