Tentative Questions With Definite Answers

It was today, that wasn't so good for me.
multiple decades possibly washed away.
family means everything but i'm a terrible brother.
a horrendous friend who ran from life once lived.
to pastures green and new.
when all that was left behind was those who needed me.
and now I feel needed more than before i left.
there's a guilt there, no there's nothing I could've done it was out of my hands.
but a guilt that i'm so distant in every way unable to even sit down and help pass the time.
the pressure is building on me, don't get me wrong in myself I'm happy and I'm fine, but in others I just want to be there even just for a day.
Just let me find a way back home be the brother I once was and live a life I left behind so long ago, even just for a day.
