For the Love of a Sister

I'd like everyone to meet my sister
she's beautiful can't you see
it might just be in the eye of the 
beholder, but it makes no 
difference to me
We shared a lot when we were
young..the bed included too,
and sis I remember the bond that was
made, because I slept with my 
arm around you

Then one night mom said....
" kid go to bed"
and it would be on this night
you see, that I would cry my eyes
out until it hurt because you
 weren't  going to bed with me

This would be the beginning of
the end of an innocence that
was so carefree,
Because my tears dried up
and washed away the pain
confined in me

"Time will heal a broken heart"..
 this saying is a fallacy..
 it merely added to the emptiness
 of my emotional state of being.

Now we are grown, 
separate towns,
separate homes, turns out
we're very different indeed

But sometimes when I'm feeling
life has left me all alone, I 
can feel your arms around me.

From one sister to another...
