Brother

I've finally pulled the chain
The blinds have lifted
Now I'm left with pain
My thoughts of you have shifted

I don't know why this is such a shock
I accept you're only human
But I thought you were a rock
Now I see your acumen

I always looked up to you
Thought I knew you had your faults
Now this view is proved untrue
My mind is doing a waltz

Is this what your life has always been?
How much have I missed?
My thoughts of you grow grim.
Talk to me- act like I exist!

Now that we've opened this door
We must keep going on
I'm almost scared to know more
But still, to you I'm drawn

So many questions that I have to ask
Where can we begin?
It won't be an easy task
But there's no need to feel chagrin

I'm here to listen, open up your heart
I sense your hesitation
But if not now, when will we start?
I'm beginning to feel frustration

I dearly, truly hope we can work through this
With all my heart, I beg you let me in!
We can start off by a short reminisce
Please, won't you let me take a look within?
