As a Brother Loves
Part II
I remember you the way you were
When we were young and free
I remember you laughing as you ran
Those sly looks you'd flash at me
You've lost that joy, now
You've grown so bitter and cold
No longer do you laugh with me
The way you did of old
But what can I do for you?
I can't take away your cares
I cannot crack that hard shell
Of armour that you wear
Sometimes, now, I despair
Will you never smile again?
Is there nothing in this world
To heal you of your pain?
It seems that nothing brings you joy
Nothing eases your mind
Nothing in your life that I can see
Nothing I can find
But then I grasp a flash of hope
A brief moment of respite
When I look back upon your actions
And see not all were done in spite
You hide it well, my brother
You hide how much you care
Few try to see how much you love
Few are left to dare
But you can't hide it from me
The warmth that makes you you
I know it when you smile at me
That glimmer of something true
So what if no-one else sees
So what if they don't seem to care
I will always know the truth
The warmth that is always there
So hide it from this world of hurt
Defend yourself as you must
Show the world a bitter shell
And grant to me your trust
I'll keep from them your secret
It will be mine alone to see
And though we may not laugh together
Inside we'll still be free
It's my job to give you hope
As yours is to keep us free
Know that it will always be this way
Because brother, you'll always have me.
One long ramble, made up in a brief burst of poetic melancholy. But that aside, what do you think? R&R? Please?
