Geschwisterlich

A truant who found home

In your embrace

Knows not to be excited

When he re-sees your face

Standing at the back door

He knows what he will see

Nothing of his dream, only a look so sore

For we are too close much like family

What he knows about you

He forgets about himself

Forgiveness is kind despite the issue

Inveterate mistakes obfuscate oneself

For trend can dictate the future

I choose to look no further

For now I can see your face

You're beautiful when showing such grace

Wise men who practice denial

Will come to face the task like a revival

Yet, he who is eager has spoiled

In his confidence he faces such turmoil

I ask, yet my voice cracks as if I beg

So it's best I say little and smile

Even when I've given an arm and a leg

Oh how can an amputee run a mile

With such vigor and pride

Aside from what lurks on the other side

You may call it a coincidence

Yet I'm not fooled by this occurrence

I'll step back into nostalgia

Far less violent then before

I've changed from what you last saw

When I walked out your back door

My truancy was voluntary

For the sick and ailing need love

Away from you I went pushed by a shove

So wholesome like brother, like sister

We are family

What was lost we don't know

It still lingers out there and undecided

For we are not ignorant we have things to show

Together again tiresome and confided

How subtle of a weapon is empathy

For what I seek is precious sincerity
