You walked into my life with a cold, unfamiliar stare,
Bringing a woman with blonde hair,
To who my father showed such care.
As he pulled out her chair,
I sensed something rare,
Love was brewing in the air,
They thought not of us, unaware.
But why do you act like you don’t care?
Your eyes seem to possess a piercing glare.
A fire in my body flared,
Though I dared not to declare,
For I fear that your gaze would strip me bare.
You seemed to be the perfect match, my heart could only dare,
Together forever, we could be a pair,
Never to severe or snare,
Yet this feeling was not to share,
For soon I realized that you are my brother, Frenneire.
So, I took a deep breath, to gather my wits and beware,
And decided that this love would remain in me and not impair,
For this secrete love was something to bear,
As I watched you and our father, with a smile and a prayer.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
