Addiction
He brought so much pain into our lives. By popping pills and smoking cocaine pipes.
My brother my best friend. I thought I would die! So we hid it from mother so that she wouldn't cry.
How could you? Why would you bring harm to yourself. Don't you know when you hurt you, you hurt family as well.
When you started to steal and look shabby too. Mother and father knew something was wrong with you.
Our parents they sacrificed for you to make sure. That your life would be better, than theirs to endure.
Dad saved up money. Mom sold her jewelry for you. Gave all that they had, to send you to school.
So how can I tell them; What can I say. They sent you on a journey; so far away. To a strange culture and a world that's brand new. But they didn't bank on drugs killing you.
