Shaken, shocked, sunken heart.
Horrified, head hardly held high.
Confused, concerned, cornered now.
Half truths, hypocrisy, twisted mirrors.
How life can value loose, dependent on the prism one chooses to look through.
Mirror image once limpid, now a deformed hazy sight.
Sighing, for cannot allow oneself to weep.
Innocent conceptions shaken, shattered.
Beautiful, peaceful haven no more.
Tensions, frictions, now so rife.
Ripping, tearing, crushing this bond.
Fragile, fragmented, diminishing bond.
Grasping, grappling, clutching, desperate.
For without brother who’s keeper, I am.
My being no longer in peace can dwell.
