Two seeds from the same pod

Planted congruently

Malnourished just the same

One stays indoors, mostly

The other just inside their brain

Grew up parallel

With perpendicular paths

Heaps of resentment

Tarnished understandings of family

Where each phone call is a time bomb

Next chapter was foreshadowed previous to their moon cycle

Internally, they long for connection

External tells of hollow tales

Feeling like it was meant to be more than him and I

Two wall flowers with identical interpretations of this broken glass

It's a tranquil remembrance in which our emotions are finally able to cope and understand what's passed

See beauty before me, pray to lift him up

Shine for you and I

Unaware of who hears my fears, feels my insides

Paradise was only a foolish dream

No place else I'd rather be, than in his life

Wished once to a thousand times

Erase all pain he'd experienced yet it's only made him stronger

Kids can be so vile, somehow adults aren't any better

Caught a glimpse of truth, I held it to my eyes

All that reaps, sewing benefits

Target practice of love's the hardest gift

Knowing there's one road to live

Show him construction in a safer haven

Genius of a deeper flavor

My cursive draws a rope that ties our paper airplanes together

From forever 'til the end of stanza

It's like acceptance is our only answer

To these blank pages where our indentations breath oxygen

Longed for an act of knowledge

Counting time until we meet our maker

I hate this chance of fate

Can't accept who might go sooner

Brother, I hope you fulfill your hunger

Caught a glimpse of truth, I held it to my eyes

Caught a glimpse of you, I held you in my mind

Caught a glimpse of you, I held you to my eyes

Caught a glimpse of truth, I held it in my mind
