Brother (03172026)
gazing into the dark eyes of a vintage photo of a infant
I stumbled on a family secret that revealed itself to me
suddenly I recognize myself as the secret keeper
of a secret I do not want to keep " I do not want to
keep the secret that must be told" I do not wish to
hurt the soul tormented by the secret kept
how am I any different from those who kept
the secret to death I can't unsee the truth I can
no longer believe the lie I'm sick inside I could
be wrong but you have your father's eyes
