To My Sister

My beautiful sister, do you remember that day? That terrifying day death tried to take you away? I'll never forget that look on your face And the only words I could speak were, "are you okay?" I'll never forget the bottles, empty of pills I picture that room, and I get covered in chills. I can't imagine how it could possibly feel You cheated death, and that's surreal. And there you were painted with bruises Because of a boy, a coward, that abuses. You tried to tell me a million excuses But all you were is someone that uses. I'll forever have these images engrained in my head I'm so thankful that you are not dead. And I'm sure you are sleeping softly in bed Because you are better now, no more tears to shed.
