Child of Pain (for Alex)

I see the pain
                        behind his eyes
                        They hurt his flesh
                        and told him lies

                        I cannot silence
                        the agony within
                        but I will not let It
                        continue to win

                        His mind is far
                        too great to know
                        Those wounds bleed deep
                        where he cannot show
                        He cannot cut
                        he tries to cry
                        I dare not want him
                        to leave or die
                        I offer no pity
                        remorse or empathy
                        but he knows he always
                        has my sympathy

                        A soul so loving and giving
                        in this universe divine
                        I'm blessed to know you
                        dear brother of mine
