My brother.
My brother.
My big brother,
Addicted.
To something
So strong.
So powerful.
So toxic.
That it destroyed his life.
Where did he go?
Where did his
Dreams
Aspirations
Hopes
Plans
Go?
Where did this blank look come from?
The eyes of my brother were
Hijacked
Stolen
By poison
Coursing through his veins
Veins that we share
Veins that were once so pure
Now contaminated
By the substance
That nearly killed him.
But where did he go?
When will he come back?
I want him back.
I want him to feel again
And be my big brother again.
He's always been there
One step above me
Guiding the path.
Yet I can no longer follow.
I don't want what he had
Destruction
Ruin.
Please come back.
Get that light back in your eyes
And that laugh
To brighten
All around you.
You forgot you can be happy.
Just remember
That you are needed.
I need you
So please come back.
I need my big brother.
