On A String
Whenever they fought
He was the one who fought back
It might have been his brother
Who initiated the fight
But it was him
Who physically retaliated back
It was him who hit his brother
He would hit his brother
Until his brother hit him back
Until his brother overpowered him
And pinned him to the ground
With the weight of his body
It might have been normal
For them to fight
After all, they are brothers
But, their fights always had meaning
To them
They weren't petty fights
About small things
They were much more
Words ran deep
And as more words were said
More blows were swung
Until their relationship
Unraveled
Until their relationship,
Their brotherly bond
Was hanging on a string
That piece of string,
The piece of string
Holding their relationship
Together
Was the line between
Brotherly love
And trust
It became a line
They had crossed over so many times
A line that they thought
Would have snapped
By the weight of their arguments
By the weight of their words
Yet, somehow the string
Never broke
Not completely anyway.
The string had remained strong
Throughout all that was said
They never allowed the string
To become fully broken
Nor would they
For they are brothers
And shall remain brothers.
