Reasons for My Last Curtain Call

A poem describing the rough relationship between brothers, but showing how roughness in the relationship can be transformed to lessons to be past from a sibling to another.

I've been thinking a lot

these past few days 

The reasons why 

you gave me that penetrating gaze

I thought at first 

that I was wrong

lying to you like a reoccurring song

Wasting your time 

for so very long

I thought of another 

reason why 

why a made you shed that cry

Maybe because I gave you fear 

I screamed and shouted in your ear

Or maybe because

I did not hold you dear

Turning away 

like some rusted gear

One more 

I thought might be true

maybe because I trusted only a few

You probably thought 

that this included you

But if you did

you boiled in your own stew

because I've always loved you

I hope that in time you learn

the reasons why I've been so stern

It was to protect 

the ones I love 

so I may be pure 

and rise to the great above

 

I may not know much 

but I know this now 

that someway,somehow

you'll learn these lessons

I've told you now

I'll know you'll cry

When I leave 

But be strong my dear child

You are our last remaining life

Be strong

Be strong for your new baby and wife 

Good luck brother 

forever and all

I love you brother

But this is

indeed my last curtain call

Oh I love this. The dude on the right does look like Sasuke. The dude on the left looks like Orochimaru.
