I watch your sleeping face,

so tired,

so weary,

yet so peaceful

because you found the place

where you belong.

Little sister, little sister,

who knew that your rolemodel is a flower

that'll whither.

Your cheerful demeanor hides

a great big secret

in the form of a demon.

That demon is envious and loves to lie.

Little sister, little sister,

I know I can't save you

because you have to do

that yourself.

Escape from your own personal hell.

I am nothing but a guide,

not a shortcut.

I watch you with all of your bravado

intact;

at almost everything, you still cuss

and laugh.

Little brother, little brother,

you deny your fears

of fire- of the dark.

Just who- who is the little boy

inside your heart?

Are you scared?

Then say so.

Are you wrong?

Then admit it so.

You are not as strong as you make yourself out to be,

but the one to protect you at your weakest has always been me.

Little brother, little brother,

stay safe,

keep your bonds unsevered.
