Four years between them
The younger the wiser
The one who believed in
His brother, adored him
Singing his praises
But no one would listen
And faith is the strongest love
And let me be clear
There was nothing demanded
And neither expected
But rather accepted
The roles they'd been given
In a story of madness
Yet tainted by genius
And there lay the sadness
Make no mistake
He felt heavy and a burden
And guilt weighs so heavy
He didn't want to be one
Found time for love
And easily married
The love of his life
Held happiness brief
The lie. He told himself every day
Turning all doubt all away
You and the brother you love
Fraternal eternal
Thousands of letters
And millions of words
The first and the last
For him pure reserved
No time or distance
Could ever divide them
Interred eternally
Six months between them
