Separated

Redefine my love for you
Tell me it’s okay
To love you now
That she has gone away

The dotted line has not been signed
The covenant still stands
A promise two once made
Now rests in shaky hands

My sister speaks no more with me
But you have yet remained
A friend, But now I think
Of the relationship I have gained

I first thought of you, my brother
But without her, is that true
My sister chose to leave
And now it’s them and you

Is it only for the children
That we have gotten close
Are the words unsaid
The words we fear the other knows

Yet no one speaks lest
What we have is rent beyond repair
And so we walk with awkward steps
And a silent love we share
