Dead Or Alive
A sister of the zodiac, a sister of love.
And so in her extended angst, I feel nothing I do is enough.
A young woman disguised, yet for me she is revealed.
I first remained indecisive, but now our friendship is forever sealed.
A great challenger to my logic; my intellectual equal.
So when her soul is again tormented, I am shaken fearful.
But my sister is potent; in her survival I trust.
For without trust, we are counterfeit, mere ghosts dust to dust.
We were raped into this life, unstoppably entrapped, but we must thirst to survive...
But at least my sister is beside me in confusion and sorrow - when we're only half-alive.
