i heard you.

i heard you calling,

early in the morning.

i heard your voice

and all the pain

brother, please!

i'm sorry.

i heard you beg.

beg me to bring

you back.

please, take me back!

i can't.

i heard you cry.

for me to come

and fix you.

and rescue you

from the darkness

brother, save me!

no, brother. i won't.

i heard you scream

and i watched as

Heaven's Morning Star

bent and broke

as my brother

declared his hate

i hate you, brother. i never loved you.

(there was no answer.)

day after day,

night after night,

i listened and heard.

but the important part

is i did nothing.

forgive me, brother.

never.
