I didn't know it was possible

to love a family member

so deeply,

so unconditionally,

so that to lose them

would be worse

than losing oneself.

I didn't know it was possible

to have such deep rooted feelings

for blood kin

so that if anyone

ever said anything

negative about them,

you'd kill them.

Yet it is possible, very possible,

to bond together closely

with a sibling

with whom ideas

are claimed and shared,

and to love that sibling

like no other.

Should it just so happen

to be possible

for you to be on the receiving end

of this loving bond,

consider yourself lucky,

the Joker's Wild Card,

because you have

hit it big.
