Lost Brother

Growing up
we were best friends
we were Bonnie and Clyde
we were brother and sister
we were thick through thin
we stayed up to talk
on nights we couldn't sleep.
You were my rock
in the river filled with rapids.

Now
we are strangers
we never talk
we don't care about each other
or so you say
we are not brother and sister
we are not friends
we are not family.

I wish you would give up
on your biggest addiction
and come back to us
your family wants you back
we want the boy
who smiled in happy times
we wish to see you achieve
all of your goals in life.

But since you can't let go
of your addiction for us
we have to let go of you
knowing that there is no hope
for a brother, a friend, a son.
