My Sister Love - Legend

 
"Of two sisters, I was the follower and she was the adventurer."

                                          Quote by _ Constance

Suzanne, leads me
to her place in the cemetery
and I can hear the night sighing
I want to stay with her
Oh, you may think me crazy
but I will miss my sister forever
I wish we could drink tea like our yesterdays
green tea all the way from China in fancy cups
I tell her how much I love her still
but have brought no flowers in this dream
and she lets the sparkling stars answer
whispering I will always love you too
and I want to kiss and hug her
for she is my legend and my hero
she is my sister love

Suzanne, was an adventurer
one day we climbed a snow mountain
we stood so proud from our high tower
surveying our kingdom
and then we were slipping 
and she let go of my hand, falling
sliding off the mountain of snow
I screamed her name over and over
as a sea of snow crashed down
leaving her broken below
and my life would never be the same
she had let go of my hand to save me
as she sank like a stone
oh, how many times I have wished to die
and I want to kiss and hug her
for she is my legend and my hero
she is my sister love

Suzanne, is floating
and is leading me to the cemetery gate
she is wearing a pretty dress
bought from a thrift store for her funeral
and the moon shines down like honey
as we move in silence
past the praying angel statues
headstones and decaying flowers
oh, she saved me that day
when we were just children playing
sisters who loved each other so much
and will forever and evermore
Suzanne holds the gate open for me in this dream     
and I want to kiss and hug her
for she is my legend and my hero
she is my sister love
