A Brother's Visit

I know you are there,
You've come to visit me again.
I know you are here,
By the scent of roses,
Your ever-present cologne.

I know you are with me,
You sit by the bed.
You're with me now,
You're holding onto my hand,
Letting me know this is not part of my everlasting dream.

I hear your voice,
Softly singing to me our parents lullaby,
Telling me you'll always protect me.
Your voice breaks, I think you are crying,
I wish I could tell you I'll be fine.

I know what you've done,
How you've dirtied my name.
I know your sins,
How you kill to avenge me,
I don't hate you for it.

You are my brother,
Despite your faults I still care about you.
Know as you leave me,
For yet another night of sins and bloodshed,
Know as you play the part of shadowy death,
That Nii-san.....
I will always love you.
