i sat down and cried today
everything always has to go his way
we watched mom stuggle with drinking for years
all those nights filled with tears
but still my brother picked up the beer
now i live my days loving him and in fear
that he might fade away
i know there will soon be that day
but noone understands he was my everything
now i have nothing
so whats this life for anyways?
to watch people sit and drink away there days
people you love people you adore
tell they cant say i love you anymore
so isaih when you come around and want me back ill be here
tell then have fun with your beer

This poem was very touching and also biting. The depth of your speaker's multifaceted love for his/her family is well-captured in the concluding lines:

so isaih when you come around and want me back ill be here
tell then have fun with your beer
