You pull up alongside me and I wonder how you feel about me,
Whether you would put me down because I do not have the freedom you do.
Would you label me weak for giving in to another’s rule, or respect me less because of a secret fear.
I do not know because the dark visor hides your eyes, giving you the power for you can see mine.
But oh if you whispered the one secret word to me I would share your freedom and soul.
I would fly as you fly, to crash or soar on our broken wings.
And yet I do not fear you, because I know what lies beneath the toughness.
I know what you hide from all but yourself, because I too hide it.
But I do not power down the highway like and avenging angel.
All of my pain comes without a name and so cannot be avenged.
I know you stand above me looking down and all the time I refuse to fear - do you want me for that!
Would you take or give my freedom on a whim or share yours with me.
I do not know because the one who shared his love, his passion with me is gone.
A knife wound for the brother of a different blood from. Part of my soul was his.
It flew with him down the open road, free. And then he crashed and burned
And all the pain of life was gone from him, but still in me because secretly I loved.
I was his wild child once, unafraid of his speed and power. And his loss weighed heavy upon me because my Angel Brother was gone. I cried long nights for him, I burned with pain. Still I hear him roaring up in speed and passion.
And a part of me has gone and split two ways, I know what you think.
You think me half tame because I err on caution - well part of me is buried with him
You think me half wild from madness, part of me rides with him Heaven. He is my leather clad Angel, and part of a brotherhood that I am not, but respect all the same.
So maybe I can see your eyes behind the darkness after all, for as you are brothers your blood flows clear as a beacon to me, who understands. Who feels the loss of one brother but knows that there are others.
You see this as I look at you and smile and I know you smile too.
And then the light turns green, and you are gone.
