Brother, my brother, <br />How selfish was I <br />While you seemed to struggle, <br />I sat idly by <br /> <br />Brother, my brother <br />Yes, try as I might <br />I now realize <br />It was also my fight <br /> <br />Brother, my brother <br />Now look at your arm <br />It's cold and immovable <br />Lost all its charm <br /> <br />Brother, my brother <br />Now look at your leg <br />There's so much left missing <br />Yet not once did you beg <br /> <br />Brother, my brother <br />Though I lost more in mass <br />It is you far more haunted <br />By our mistakes in the past <br /> <br />Brother, dear brother <br />Listen when I say <br />I will stick by your side <br />Until this goes away <br /> <br />Brother, dear brother <br />Listen when I say <br />I will stick by your side <br />Until our final day<br /><br />Amanda Saveley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/confessions-of-a-bound-soul/
