The fire inside of me
just want let me be still
My heart stays open as I appeal
To a deeper emotion then just fear
With a mere sweet whisper
Of a much more meaningful focus

(My brother)

The sick relationship that
you treasure with this white powder
Overshadows anything that I ever meant to you
Makes me feel like my love don’t matter
Saving you is not within in my power
You have stolen more than just material possessions
I am emotional bankrupt when it comes to you
Nothing that leaves your mouth is true
Took my hope and pawned it
Cashed in all the treasures that I held so dear
Like my wedding rings and things
Have long disappeared
But the pain that I hold
From watching you
Slowly slip away
Taking with you my hope
Like birth of a new day
No longer will it have the same meaning
I do not have the strength to battle
The demon that holds you
That forces you to remain in the dark
But I just hope you are sober
Enough to see that you broke my heart.
