My brother's Keeper

in #poetry7 years ago

When you are feeble I support you

As you expel on your throne

Watching over, caretaking

You are weak I can see and protection is needed

If only from yourself

When your digits are our of order

It is I who ensures the problem gets solved

Blood may be thicker than water

It is bond that is thicker than blood

You mock me

You shock me

You double talk me

Yet still I stand

As you unravel inside and out

I hide you from the glimpses

As you combat against yourself

Your daemons

Your closest brethren

I fend blows

For tomorrow as you rebuild from within

It may be you

Fending for

Fixing

And protecting me.
