Thankyou Donovan! Yeah, I can see how one could think the song was about an ex-wife or girlfriend. I haven't really gotten around to adding music to it yet. I just wanted some feedback on the lyrics before I moved on to the music side of it. But hey, thanks for the encouragement.

Grump, thanks to you too! The thorn refers to my brothers complaints to me at the time about all the horrible things that he'd had to endure in his life (as if he was the only one that had horrible things happen to him) and the pity that he should receive because of it, and so I wanted virtually say okay, you've shown me your wounds (pains from past events), now let me show you mine. I always liked the Elvis song that had the line "walk a mile in my shoes" (or something to that effect) and so I thought it appropriate to add something similar in my song.

My older brother and I get along much better now, but sadly we are not as close as I would have hoped.
