Maybe

Think.
Do you really want to do this,
Again?
I can play this game
I can.
I don’t want to 
But I can.
All I wanted to do was help
All I ever did was care
I’m tired of loving you more
Than you love me.
We’re family brother,
When people hurt you
Then people hurt me.
You said I don’t understand your world
That I don’t know what it’s like
And maybe I don’t,
But maybe I do.
No matter what you say
I’m still here for you.
There was a moment
When I felt like you might care
When you said,
I want you to stay home.
Safe.
So maybe I will,
Or maybe I won’t.
But no matter what happens
Don’t ever think that you can control me
Because you can’t.
Just know that he will pay
For what he did
Whether it is me,
Or you,
Or those thugs you call friends.
He will fall
And when no one else is,
I will be there.
No maybes.

People don't always appreciate the ones who most loyal to them, Francesca. It sounds like your love for your brother is unconditional -- no maybes about it at all. Very inspiring! I feel the same way about my sister. She doesn't always support me, but she knows she can count on my love regardless. Love, Carolyn
