If only he didn't rely on intoxication
Whenever he couldn't handle a situation.
We're considerate of this "hobby" because he's family
But self-destruction isn't what we want to see.
-
All these years he kept his feelings all bottled up inside
Drowning in alcohol, but I see it as a weakness because of my pride.
A young and foolish self, oblivious to what I have done.
But after exploding now, boom! He's gone.
-
Arguments and quarrels, it all happened before,
Tallying it up as if I'm earning a score.
God knew the guilt was killing me in some of the years.
Now once again, I'm drowning in a sea of tears.
-
At times I apologized, knowing my own mistake
Because losing him is more than I could take.
Even now he's very wrong, but I'm wiling to forgive and forget.
I don't want our relationship to drift away until death.
-
I'm afraid he'll ruin himself and end in hell someday.
So please Lord, please save him, I say.
Even though he truly and deeply hurt me,
I would rather be at peace because he's family.
-
But now he hates me, I'm no longer his sister.
A little flame that grew and devoured faster.
This time might've burned the bridge to my only sibling.
Please God, let it not be the ending.
