Dear Brother

DEAR BROTHER

Written By: Ashley Byers

What happened?
Grounded in a faith steadfast
Teasing, playing,
My personal bodyguard,
My boyfriend interviewer,
Love

What happened?
Your smile lost
Your excitement gone
The sparkle of life turned into a dread

Depressed;
The smile, a frown
A lower lip quiver

Where did you go?
Drained by drugs
Destroyed by lust
Your passion fizzled by untrue friends

I love you
I miss you
I need you back
Please

Rest assured in our love
Be at peace with our faith
Know that I'm here
Watching,
Caring,
Unwilling to see you

Beaten down by darkened rain
