Brother Where Are You Going


Where are you going. Stop. No. Please come back. I’ll.....
False alarm.....
Everything’s just.....
Fine......
As it always was......

What flows through the mind as I glance at them
The absolute replacement, the displacement of a brother
He’s gone off again to explore
The mask of happiness, the interior of sadness
How much can one endure
And as I stay, and as I wait
For the alternative to arise
The repeating process continues
Without a compromise

No. Please. Don’t go. Stop.
False Alarm......
Everything’s just.......
Fine.......
As it never was.......
And never would’ve been.....
