My Brother

[phedrea]

Fuck, fuck, this pain tears at my heart
because there's nothing I can do
I'm no super hero
To hold on to the slippery you

Please, please be OK
I shut my eyes, I kneel , I pray
every moment of silence is for you
there's little else I can do

I hold you in my heart
hoping my soul will cling to yours
hoping I can protect you
as you face your wars

I know, I know
you go through this pain
it chinks my armor
I'm not the same

it changes you too
where's that light in your eyes?
where have you gone
what is this guise?

the pictures I've taken
show the story
as you stand eyes to the ceiling
face blank with worry

this makes me want to puke
that I'm hurting so bad
so what must it be like for you
I know that you're sad

I cherish you
my brother, my hero
I promise to watch over you as you sleep
and so softly, so softly, so softly I'll weep
