Sister Dear
Dark happiness eclipses bright sorrow,
Casting the shadows of pain upon me;
Sharp splinters that penetrate the marrow:
My wounds lay hidden but yours i can see.
Embodiments of your inner anguish,
Gateways forced open to set your pain free
These unseen demons you cannot banish,
So you fight with a knife
Til you can see.
Bright sorrow flares behind it's dark cover:
It's the blinding white truth from which we hide:
For truth discerned is pain to discover
So close your eyes and keep it all inside.
I long to hug you to make you hear
That your pain is also my pain,
Sister dear.
