Jeremy
By: Devin Cade

Something in my mind
keeps bringing me back to you,
For wrong and right reasons, 
Reasons existing, reasons untrue. 

Why we no longer speak
is no big mystery.
Yet at the same token shocking,
"Considering our history."

Brother when was it
you lost your grace?
Relying on useless ability
in unworthy situations
just to save face.

For a long time
your growth stopped and strayed.
A lost loyalty for friends,
and above all, leaving yourself betrayed.

I wanted better for you,
and I know I did my best.
As a friend, a brother,
an extra heart and hand,
along your quest.

"No matter where anyone goes,
they had to come from somewhere."

And this is the lesson I’ve learned.
Through effort and casually.
"Life," with no medals earned.
