The Slightly Bigger Me

I tug on your sleeve,
you turn around,
I whimper softly,
you softly sigh,

I wipe a tear,
you wipe the other,
I try to speak,
You put a finger to my lip

I silence and you whisper,
calming words into my ear,
placing a protective blanket over me,
a blanket made of security of your touch,
security of your smile.

You dont remember? I'm hurt,
a mockery of a word.

I feel another fight
you still say nothing,
I want to scream,
you display grave silence,

I stomp my foot,
you look away,
I grit my teeth,
you still don't move,

I laugh and so do you,
you pull me into an apologetic embrace,
by accepting it I already eliminate the words,
the unwritten rules of conversations don't apply to us,
no one gets you like I do,

Silly thing how we are, no, big brother?
