It was the day before the holidays
Cold and frail
By my side my cousin stood old and pale
Speak he said what lingers your mind
All I could think was not of the crime
But the man beside me all this time
His voice so husk made it so true
For years I couldn't forget the night that drew
I pleaded to the sky why it had to be
Little did I know what it meant to me
When the morning dawned awake in my bed
Looked over to her instead without dread
But my brother my cousin it was all in my head
I could not speak nor peak until I resolved
The love I lost on my own ****** soul
But beauty and mystery lies within
A lesson learnt from the man of sins
You see the truth is not at all what it seems
Quite unexpected but well in its means
For a long time I questioned why you did this to me
A thought I couldn't shake let alone consume me
To forget to forgive was the best thing yet
Warm and cozy in my new found bed
But all too late and little was said
My brother my cousin I'm just about dead.
