My brother,
The sinner,
Can we go back?
To a time before broken heart beginnings,
Where happiness dared to be unending,
And our joys would outlast the sun?
Before one-winged angels became our shared memory,
Before the only remedy we knew was finding peace in others,
Can we learn to be ourselves again?
Can we make a smile our natural fit,
Like when we were kids, remember?
Now when we meet all we can do is reminisce and smile,
But it feels unnatural to say the least.
Like the beast of burden, the scars and the hurt then were too much to bear.
So I'll meet you in the middle,
Let's start fresh and forget everything we used to know.
The cost of a lost love,
The weight of a heavy heart,
And the sting of the words that sparked a bullet,
Nothing matters anymore,
As long as we can smile again.
