Take My Hand Please

How did you let it get this far?
Putting the needle in your arm,
is leaving a million scars.
Watching you slowly kill yourself,
is a pain I cannot bare.
Looking into your eyes,
there is nothing but an empty stare.
I love you more than words can say.
I wish you would take my hand,
so I can help you...
Show you the way.
I don't like the person that you have become,
You live in a world of darkness,
blocking out the sun.
You don't see the pain that you have caused,
not only me...
But the pain you have caused the whole family.
Why did you let things get this bad?
Was it out of hurt, anger, or were you really sad?
I want my brother back,
the devil took you away,
and now you aren't around for us to play.
The tears fall endlessly,
So please stop...
Open your eyes so you can see,
support is all around you,
And our love is still here too.

That's truly unfortunate...a hard situation for you to deal with as well. I hope you got what you needed to out, you really made me feel it.   -KMD
