Catch 22

Dear Brother, 


I do not grieve for you because you cry, but because you don't 

Part of me wishes it were me 

Part of me wishes I could suffer for you 

But I can't 

All I can do is understand 

Watch, understand, listen

But I cannot help, I am unable 

But on your arm, I understand

The catch 22 

Because I feel no matter what I do 

It isn't right 

And I want to help, my heart breaks 

I want everything to be okay

But it won't be, not for a while. 

But I will be waiting, I will be watching

Hoping that things get better.
