This is part 2 of 'Lullaby For A Sister' with the reader's reply. (I know it doesn't make sense as the reader is 'dead' but I thought of this and I wanted to do it so, I did!
----------------------
"Please, Nick, don't blame yourself for this."
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have done this to you?
The blame was my own; the punishment, mine
The harmony's silent today
But into the stillness, you brought me a song
And you have my company kept
'Til my tired eyes and your lullabies
Have carried me softly to sleep
Once did a lawyer who shone like the sun
Look out on the media and sigh
You smiled and said, "Surely, there is no lawyer
So lovely and so well trusted as I"
So great was your reign and so brilliant your glory
That long was the shadow you cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister you 'loved'
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
Lullay dear Phoenix, goodnight brother mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
Don't carry your sorrow in kind
Nick, you loved me so much more than I knew
I forgive you for being so blind
Soon did you take notice that others
Did not give your sister her due
And neither had you loved me as I deserved
You watched as my unhappiness grew
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And you foolishly did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed you most
Lullay dear Phoenix, goodnight brother mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
Don't carry your sorrow in kind
Nick, you loved me so much more than I knew
May troubles be far from your mind
I forgive you for being so blind
The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
You never imagined
You'd face them all alone
'May the rest of your life
Swiftly pass', you pray
You loved me; you miss me
All these years away
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of starlightlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when you dream,you'll fly away and meet me here
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep
"Oh, Nick, please don't blame yourself."
