Beautiful Scars Poet Rhyme

Separate We Are Two, But Together We Are One

SEPARATE WE ARE TWO, BUT TOGETHER WE ARE ONE, 
            without this strong camaraderie we would fail-
For we shall show amity until eternity is done, 
   and through all adversity we shall prevail.
You shall show me empathy I shall show devotion, 
          there’s nothing as persistent as our deep emotion. 

        When Karen died I knew how you struggled so severe,
because I too wanted to stop breathing with you-
            But even though your pain was harsh you’ve been here,
for you have given me yellow, taken away my blue. 
   Now together we are powerful as the Lord above, 
        and it has all been warranted by the gift of love. 

    The only thing that sets us apart is that we live afar, 
but close together in what matter the most in life-
         You told me to look above and wish upon our star,
  hope with all my might it would take away my strife. 
For there is nothing as beautiful as your benevolence, 
          as I talk to you on the phone and feel your essence. 

You helped raise me and took me under your wing, 
      I was in my youth, you felt responsible for me-
Now when we’re together I hear the angels sing, 
          and we shall shower each other in acute intimacy. 
The oceans aren’t deep enough, mount isn’t high, 
  because without you I wouldn’t have learned to fly. 

       Nothing compares to our penetrating affection, 
as heavy as life can get, you carry my load-
          We share a bond, a cunning sisterly connection, 
and through our children our warm tale shall be told. 
          It is one of great ability to show true solidarity, 
  peace inside our gentle souls of concord affinity. 

      SEPARATE WE ARE TWO, BUT TOGETHER WE ARE LINKED, 
an entirety of forgiveness when we need atonement-
          For you are here for me before I could have blinked, 
making special memories and living in the moment. 
  Unmatchable we are friendship and love combined, 
             for separate we are two, though we share one mind. 



*Dedicated to my beautiful sister Jennifer. We have lost
a sister, yet without each other wouldn't have been
able to make it through. She is my mate to my soul.*

Amy Sell March 11, 2018 at 2:33 PM Jennifer must have loved this - I enjoyed it and I'm not even related to you! Sometimes the relationship between me and my sisters seems distant, but I recall my mom telling me how she brought my youngest, newest sister home from the hospital and laid her in a laundry basket for want of a crib, and I sat next to it oohing and ahhing all night. We couldn't talk, but we were, and still are, glad to have each other. I'm sorry for you that Karen is no longer around.
