Little Sis Is Moving?

Tears slowly dripping down my face, falling out my eyes , and onto the dirty ground floor.
I already miss you but you haven't even left yet.
I'm typing this poem when I can barely see 'cause of the tears that fill my eyes.
You're my little sister that I never met but it seems like I've known you for eternity.
I can't make you stay but I can sure give you a going-away present.
M.J. gave me strength to live on & forget my past but I can't conquer this no matter how
hard I try.

I can't stop them from falling lil' sis! Can you tell me that everything'll be alright
after you leave my life?
I've never seen your face but you comforted my heart whenever I was down.
You say you needed me but it's me who truly needs you.
I wouldn't be able to go through the day without a tear falling out my eye.
That's how I feel about you moving to Mexico...but what do I know, I'm only thirteen years
old.
