Little Brother

You’re still hurting

Much more than I imagined.

I wish I could reach over

And touch your heart,

Put something in it

To make it beat like it used to

And bring the light back into your eyes.

We all have cracks in our world

But yours is deeper

Darker

And buries incurable tragedies.

I would offer you my hand

And lead you to life;

But I don't know

the way.
