Counter Balance

Thelma to my Louise Partner in crime; Your smile... Drags me from darkness to light. Muse to my demons, Always playing a perfect tune; Laugh upon the wind, Inspiring me to new heights. Mechanic to my soul, Break by break; beer by beer, We patch, paint, and buff The scars from our hearts. Playing Jimminy Cricket Angel and demon upon decisions; Anchor upon rough seas... molding and supporting one another. Transcending friend to family; Built in body guard, Protecting my virtue... A sister you never knew you wanted. Shelter from rain; Shoulder to cry upon, Best friend unto brother... I'd be lost without your beacon.
