Ever So Sorry Joanne My Big Sis

I am ever so sorry to you Joanne 

And I only can apologize for what
I am hesitantly about to mention
and say let alone speak these word's 
and express these thoughts out loud

As you are coming over on holiday
on this the 1st of June to visit both
your mum and I

But being as I am your brother and
love you so I do not wish to lie

For since we haven't seen one another
in the flesh for over 2 long year's now

I know and fear I will in fact disappoint 
you when you see me my ever-loving big sis

As the time we have lost and spent apart 

To me has not been kind and you as I
may find it hard to assimilate the person
I am now and have sadly become

And thought abounds me of you
upon leaving wishing you had never 
taken your time to come at at

Is keeping me awake way into the
dead of night when I try and sleep

I can and may just about be able to
deal with the disappointment I feel
within myself

But seeing that very same disappointment
reflected in your eyes

I fear may well be something far to 
hard  than even I can take and face

And why I say I am ever so sorry Joanne

Extremely powerful writing Christopher, I only hope this is a sad poem, and not a true reflection on how you actually feel, all I can say is a kind loving family will see beyond the wretch, and look into the soul of the afflicted, hope you feel better by the time your sis visits, cheers David

Cheer's David thank you very much indeed Sir for replying much appreciated. Easy enough to write about something and share it with other's. Not so easy to tell them that requires real bravery as it leaves you naked and exposed with no place to hide once you put it out there. Thanks again my sincere kind regards

This is awkward Christopher, Put it this way if I was your sister and read this poem it would make me more determined to visit, your still Christopher Flaherty her brother, but if you personally think it’s going to make you feel worse or hurt her somehow, you definitely need to call her up asap, and let her know how life is at the moment, cheers David
