Nothing Will Be the Same (Not a True Story)

She was lying on her bed when I last saw her
Her skin pale
and her eyes with no hope
They have taken her to the hospital
What will happen
I don't know
She was my sister
No!
She is my sister
She is still here
Still breathing
I think
If she's not
I don't know what I would do
I'd be nothing without her
Simply nothing
I want to go see her
To see how she is
I don't want her memory to be the only thing that reminds me of her
I want HER to be here
Why her?
Why not me?
I miss her already
Nothing will be the same
Nothing will be the same
