Sad little poem I wrote when I was listening to Vic Mignogna's version of 'Brothers'. Short, but sweet. Review!
I don't own Fullmetal.

Brother.
It was my fault. All my fault.
I'm sorry, Brother.
All you ever wanted to do was bring back my body- to save me.
But in doing so, you failed to save yourself.
 
Brother.
Thank you.
As I pour out your ashes,
Pour them out over the place we burned years ago,
Together destroying memories.
But now,
You
Are the one thing that it kills me
To remember.
 
Brother.
It hurts.
There's nothing I can do to stop it.
It will always hurt.
But I've realized
That I can't try to forget.
I have to keep you with me
In case no one else does.
 
Brother.
I'm not the only one who keeps you.
Winry.
Pinako.
Colonel Mustang.
They all remember you
And I will too.
 
Every time I clap my hands.
Every time I draw a circle.
Every time I take a breath.
I will remember you.
And when I, too, go beyond
The Gate,
You will be there.
And I will see you again.
Because we are
 
Brothers.
