I'm reminded of who
Of what I used to be
It's like I'm cursed
I see his face
Everytime I look in the mirror
I guess this is what happens when
You look like the person
You always looked up to
And hated at the same time
Now he's gone
And they all look to me for help
But I am but just a monster
For eternity to look like their hero
My brother I'm sorry
I was blinded
By the ways of Quill
I did not see the wonders of Artimé
Until it was too late
How can I be there to help them
When before all I did was hurt them
I hate looking like you
I hate you
I hate myself
Why couldn't I have seen it earlier
Or maybe
Why didn't I say it was me
On that rainy day
When I was drawing in the mud
And father mistook me for you
If I had spoken up
Said something
Things might have been different
I am really
Truly
A terrible person
But for you Alex
For you I will be better
