Lost, not found. No doubt alive, hopefully happily thereafter 10 years today.

To adorn the mascarade I had to abdicate of my throne
Go further away than previously anticipated
Captivating silence throught the years
have truly been the work of violence
regarding the memories forsaken
the very hands of fate wouldn't reveal
how my foster older brother has been
this vivacious force of nature charms
surely has accomplished his dreams?
may fortune smile on the midnight hour
no longer chained to the comfort of larva,
past pretense and the injustice of choice
certain his path shines true he conquers
slicing away at his craft ever hungry
farther ambition can only lead to victory

Inseparable from beginning to start
A guiding light in trying times,
ever kind if naive and resolute in defeat
day after day the companionship flew by

I do pause to wonder at times of trial
what would he say, do or pursue if
alas my backs are open to stabbing
and it is left to be to shot to kill
whoever attempts by-a-bye worldly trills

As another year dones the calendar
may it be known, do register it
yours truly and once my best friend
Lost, not found. No doubt alive,
hopefully happily thereafter 10 years today.
