My Brother's Keeper
Am I my brother’s keeper?
Well…in a way
I keep your secrets in a chamber of my heart
I keep your confidences hidden behind the lids of my eyes
I keep your skeletons locked in the cupboard of my mind
I keep your insecurities safe in a bag of many tears you’ve cried
I keep your hopes in a jar with no lid
I keep your ambitions as fuel for your summer fire
I keep your dreams sitting on my favorite star
I keep your truth as a candle that lights the path for all that you conspire
Am I my brother’s keeper?
Well…in a way
