The numbers

add up to other numbers

Equating solution with resolution

is a mistake I’ve made

and continue to make

when I feel less than

able?

Greater than pain?

And I would kill my own brother

for a chance to please you,

I think you have to be told

about greatness, not shown.

The night

rises in the West

until dawn, and the dispute

isn’t settled, but when

conducted by a boy

it will rage.

Until the lady returns,

none of us are

getting out of here alive.
