Reach for the light Little Brother
We were all ways black and white him and me
He was black; cold dark and at times cruel,
I was white; Warm, bright and inviting.
He is my brother my twin,
And he needed me even when I was dead.
Night, unmoving my life was ended,
My heart was stopped.
But my brother tears called me back,
It pulled at the heart that would no longer beat,
I tried to call to him, tell him it was alright,
But my brother could no longer see me
So my voice went un-heard until I met her.
I found her is the space of floating lights
A place I now rested.
I helped her as she helped him.
She became his new warmth.
The calm in his storm,
The smile he could not show,
His reason to laugh and live again.
Then the day came that I was found,
He could hear me again,
But I was not happy,
For she had confessed,
And he had crushed her heart.
My brother truly was an idiot scientist.
He was so blinded by her brightness,
That he did not see how she was the difference.
She was us as different people,
She saw past the image,
And saw who we truly are,
He never saw that.
They parted with shattered hearts,
The distance of half a world,
Did not numb his pain.
I called to him again,
He heard me,
I begged him to go back,
He did not move.
Time moved and he became truly lost,
He lost his identity.
He was still Oliver Davis to those around him,
But he lost Naru.
No one there knew who Naru was,
No one knew the man with a shattered heart,
He was half a world away,
Standing beside a young woman,
With the warm smile.
Seasons changed and I continued to beg,
He no longer tried to listen to me,
He would just look out the window, dazed.
Finally one day he stood from his spot suddenly,
I was leaning agents the wall,
I could not help but smile,
He was going back.
As the plane landed in snowy Japan,
I could feel my brother storm of emotions,
For the first time I was worried,
If she rejected his offer,
He would never heal.
At his office I listen anxiously,
A ring, another, a third,
Would she answer?
Would she talk to him?
What if she just hung up?
The phone clicked,
A soft voice answered,
I saw my brothers face relax,
Mai?
I watch intensively to them talk,
At times I paced,
Sometimes I just stood there,
My brother never looked at me.
Only one person existed to him in that moment.
Then he asked Work for me?
I stood completely still,
I did not breath,
There was silence.
He smiled,
I could breathe again,
She would be back,
His heart was healing.
This would take time,
But I would remain here,
To help my brother,
Reach for his light.
I was listening to the music Chasing Cars. I found this on my laptop wile I was going through it today and thought to finish it. Think I started it some time at the end of 2010. I like how it came out. Read and Review.
