Your room, clouded with cigarette smoke, Old pizza, leftovers, and last night's ****. Whiskey and beer had stained your white rug, I'll never comprehend why you looked so smug. I didn't do anything to deserve your fist, Your open hand, your rage, your Vulcan grip. I begged you to stop, I pleaded for release, But your hand was tight, 'til we called the police. You resisted arrest and claimed you were sober, Mom cried and sobbed, I only could hold her. There was no fixing what you had done, You beat me and bruised me and emptied my lungs.
Everyone told me I did nothing wrong, But the nightmares shook me like a gong. They kept me awake 'til the break of dawn, I'll never know what brought this on. Your mind has changed since you bumped your head, And the brother I once had is dead.
