A Brother's Song

You’re killing yourself,
Slit wrist with slit tongue,
Forgetting who you were,
Only to remember who you’ve become,

Strength of mind strength of heart,
Are all but gone,
The strong words you spoke,
Are all but lost,

And to that fateful end,
It’s my entire fault,
To teach you the things,
That needed to be taught,

For I alone allowed you,
To kill yourself,
I wasn’t around you,
When you needed the help,

I should have said something,
But I stilled my voice,
I should have done something,
But I made the wrong choice,

I stood by and watched,
As your strength fell,
I wasn’t there for you,
When you needed to be held,

But I’m here now,
When ever you need just call,
I’ll stick by you,
Catch you when you fall,

I’ll help you rebuild,
The strength you once had,
To stand straight again,
To stick it out through the bad,

I’ll be there to help,
Close those deep incisions,
This time around,
I know I’ll make the right decision,

So whenever you need me,
To make the sky clear,
Whenever you call me,
Your big brothers here.
