Little Brother
You’re still hurting
Much more than I imagined.
I wish I could reach over
And touch your heart,
Put something in it
To make it beat like it used to
And bring the light back into your eyes.
We all have cracks in our world
But yours are deeper
Darker
And buries incurable tragedies.
I would offer you my hand
And lead you to life;
But I don't know
the way.
Much more than I imagined.
I wish I could reach over
And touch your heart,
Put something in it
To make it beat like it used to
And bring the light back into your eyes.
We all have cracks in our world
But yours are deeper
Darker
And buries incurable tragedies.
I would offer you my hand
And lead you to life;
But I don't know
the way.

I do love him, and it's very hard to see his pain. He lost his baby a year ago....I hope that's not TMI. I just hurt for him.

Just taking his hand might be enough. Knowing you love him should come as considerable comfort. You might even try letting him read this poem. You're not knowing the way might not be reassuring, but your obvious caring would be. You sound like a great big sister.

Such caring words, and written very much from the heart. You must be a loving sister. This is full of a kind of heartache that resonates empathy, sympathy? One of those. Great poem.
