For You & Her.

Note: I know I said I'm never posting my silly poems anymore but this is not my usual silliness. This is a letter.  Just in case.
_______________________________________________________________

Of heartbreak I know nothing of
for Love I never have.
You gave your heart but
she gave it back.
Your first flight, your first fall.

I can only imagine
what sweet assaults to your sanity she must be.
I confess, for not wanting your beauty
I think her silly.
But don't be mad I just want you happy.

To harbour affection for one unattainable
must be a labour in itself.
To be quite so miserable,
made to feel so ornate and fragile
like cheap crystal.

Even then, you weren't pining
just silently, patiently, waiting.
I could see that
but back then she was simply not yours.
Now, she might never be.

For what it's worth, (for we're never
open with each other) I'm telling you
I'm here for you.
Dear brother, I too will pray for her.
