I wish you were here to protect me, but you failed to be.
I wish you were here to help me, but you chose not to be.
I wish you kept your promise, but you broke it and thew it into the mist.
I wish you were still my brother, but now, why even bother?
I miss the childish fights we had, because we always liked to make each other mad.
I miss the Cody I used to know, but now drugs and alcohol is your daily goal.
I miss who you used to be, but now you're just a low life druggie.
I hate who you've become because it makes me mad that you turned away from the family you once had.
I wish you were still my brother, but now, why even bother...

This is to my brother who broke his promise to me when he said he'd never leave me. He lied to me and left me behind. Im his little sister and he doesnt care.
