Brother Brother
Brother brother; fickle admirer:
I was there to watch you fall in love
I watched her heart glow for you
It grew in size and in her smile
And I knew it was meant to be
I wanted to think of her as forever
But you didn't feel the same
I tricked myself and you played her
Still I didn't doubt you
(And I dared to call her sister)
Where have you gone now?
I feel that it's been an eternity
Since I've seen you hold her hand
I love to think of your embrace
But now I question my felicity
You've been hiding
Behind panes of glass
You've been dressing up
Brother honestly--
Who have you become?
Brother brother; careful fighter:
I was there to hear your words
They were an angry cacophony
I felt for your mind and for your flesh
But I knew your soul was still steadfast
I wanted family to be what mattered
But you didn't feel the same
I bled for you and prayed for you
Still something was missing
(And I dared to act as the piece)
Why have you stopped beating?
I feel that it's been an eternity
Since I've glimpsed your pulse
I love to remember our embrace
But now I question my futility
Was she too much--
Was I too much?
Were we too much?
Brother honestly--
Were we not enough?
