Dear Sister

Dear Sister,

My lovely talented sister.

For i have betrayed you.

Though it's obvious i love you.

You lied and cheated.

Forced me to do so with you.

I was overwhelmed and had to let them know.

You committed a sin,

you know very well what you did.

You act like it's no big deal.

But it would have turned all our lives upside down.

You do not understand now,

soon you will though.

You'll know why i had to tell the truth.

Lieing for you was wrong.

I'm sorry sister.

I had to do what was right.

Great write as apology as the theme. We all need to eat humility pie sometimes and apologize. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
