Leave each other to their peace; judge not lest ye be judged.
On each personal choice, the strong will not be budged.
Often love isn’t true and then is called lust.
Knitted in a web of lies, hearts of steel and rust.
Ignored by your family for what’s been said and done.
Naught but pain is on your mind; you thought they were the one.
My own heart still aches a little; there’s something I’ll reveal.
You’ll understand in good time some wounds can never heal.
Each of us must learn to take it all in stride.
You and you alone can hold your head up with pride.
Everyone will be hurt, not “if,” but “when,” and “why?”
Sorrow is my specialty; I’ll help if you should cry.
Always I’ll be here for you; I don’t seek out love.
Nobody seems to understand that which I cannot rise above.
Dear and loyal friends are all I need to sleep at night.
To simply have them in my life is enough to lead me right.
Even in my darkest thoughts, I will not give in.
Love truly sets the act apart what lust would do in sin.
Look and know that if you cry, I’ll wipe away your tears.
Most of all, I’ll stand beside you throughout the years.
Every second that passes by, I’ll work just to see you smile.
Thanks are not necessary, it was all worthwhile.
Have fun now and then, don’t be so downtrodden.
At least take comfort that so long as I live, you won’t be forgotten.
There’s just too much that I wish I could say to you.
Years from now, perhaps that’s something I might be able to.
Only when I am sure your smile will not leave.
Until then I will be with you so you may believe.
Look at me and understand; I am not the same.
Others treat the prospect of love as merely a game.
Vows of devotion are naught to them; mere words to forget.
Even to the ends of their lives, love’s something they won’t get.
My friend, you will understand something they’ve refused.
Each person has a heart that can’t stand to be used.

The repetition is a little lagging, but I don't think I'd ever be able to write quite like this. I think writing might be your thing in the same way photography is mine. You're very good. Keep it up.
Perhaps becoming an English teacher IS for you afterall, brother.

"Love truly sets the act apart what lust would do in sin."

Definitely my favorite line. Good job! It doesn't shock me that you're talented in this area as well as everything else you're great at, because you and your brother are both oozing talent out of your ears.
I'd like to see more, to be sure.
