Love Undone

You are my brother, and I am bound to you,
But your actions do cause me to so rue
The day that I met your lusting black hide.
For you do make eyes at the ladies, bide
Your time in the shadows and shady streets;
Where many a woman may your form meet.
If you do love me, as brothers ought to,
Then listen to my counsel taught even
To me by one long ago. Sell not your soul.
For though you crave the company true
To your desires you'd commit seven
Atrocities; these things shall take their toll!
Yet by your actions will I abide; stake
My life to choices that I cannot make....
