A Cruel Jest

There once were two cousins

An older cousin with a little cousin to protect

One of black and blue, the other of blonde and blue

Their names were Takashi and Mitsukuni

They were always together

They always held hands and always smiled

They were always side by side

They enjoyed everything life threw at them

Except one thing…

Destiny played a Cruel Jest

And dear Mitsukuni suffered

Losing his life to cancer like so many

His wishes had been for his cousin's happiness

And then there was one

No one to hold his hand

No one to smile to

No one to walk beside

No one to share emotion with…

All because Destiny played

A Cruel Jest…
