Description I can't seem to wrap my head around
what you do to yourself.

You must be blinded by the smoke,
because you wouldn't do this
if you were thinking straight...
Right?

You're floating high high high
High all the time.

You don't know this,
but some nights I hear you
opening your window to
take another hit.
Some nights I hear you crying.

You're begging your friends for
something they do not want
to give you.
You're driving your girlfriend
off a ledge that she's
already been pushed off of too many times.
I've seen her scars.

You're pushing me off a ledge too,
you know.
But of course you don't.

You're starting to look a lot less
like the big brother that I love.
Loved.
You don't seem to be him, though.
He used to tickle me,
and write songs for me
and sing with me.

Now when I look at you I just see
memories that won't repeat themselves.
I see red-rimmed eyes.
I see an addict.

I'm so sorry <3 I think you should how this to him. Talk to him. Everything will turn out okay eventually <3 If you ever need to talk, just let me know

I think I'm going to... my psychologist says it may be best to just tell him I'm worried about him, not outright accuse him of anything so I probably will c:  Thank you so much for the advice <3

Stay strong, dear! The worst thing is watching someone destroying himself, and being unable to help him. I have a very dear friend who is doing the very same thing to herself...guess what, we haven't talked about this, because whenever I meet her, she's high or something and talking to her, while she's in that state is pointless.  

But you should talk to him...or at least have him read this poem.

Yeah, it really is...  I'm sorry about your friend, too.  

Maybe I'll show it to him... I'm not quite sure I want him angry at me.  He's 8 inches taller and has a short temper (god, he didn't used to, though...)

Well, you could perhaps just leave the poem on his desk, make sure he finds it while you're not at home so that he has time to think it trough...I don't know...but you should talk to him (:

That's a pretty good idea... I'm not much for spontaneous acts of courage though, so I have a feeling it's not going to happen :'D

Thank you for the advice though, I really appreciate it <3

That's terrible! Please be strong, my friend. I personally can't empathize with this, and it might sound stupid, but you can't go wrong with telling an adult. I really hope your brother will be okay.

It doesn't sound stupid, actually... me and his girlfriend were talking about it yesterday and we both want to tell.  He's going to be caught eventually though anyway, so (for now) we're just letting it be.  Thank you <3

Ouch. That has to hurt. I will be praying for you all. But Jay, maybe you need to talk to him.

Either way good poem dark. Yet around this time is when the darker poetry is written.

Yeah, it does...  Thank you, Dave.  I want to, but I don't want to make him mad.  He's got a good 8 inches on me and has a short temper... I'd best not get him angry at me.

Probably. That might be best. At least have someone tell him
