Brother Dearest

Tribute to a lawyer

I really wanted to love you.
We shared the same biological father, but he was your father, not mine. He was a hero to you.
A bastard to me.
He was a beloved attorney.
An ass hole.
But all was okay.
I found you my brother and I really wanted to love you!
When I first heard your voice on the phone I was so happy.
We talked and laughed, then cried, when you told me our father died.
I cried for your loss, and what I never had.
But hey, it wall all good, I still had you...my brother...a lawyer..imagine.
We talked for hours everyday.
Then made arrangements to meet for the first time.
We met in Indy...and we hugged....and I knew..you were drunk.
You stared at me and said, "You're pretty."...then you asked me if I was sure I was your sister.
Oh, "I'm sure" my voice said while my heart died.
But still I hoped I had somehow misunderstood.
Then you hugged me again, this time you hand lingering on my breast.
You laughed and said, "Incest is Best"
You broke my heart
Like Father like Son
