My older sister will always be my best friend but it is a love/hate relationship, full of strong emotions and conflicting feelings.
Sisters

My best friend
And worst enemy
Just leave me alone
Always there for me
I steal her clothes 
We share everything
She buys me things
That she needs

Envious again
Competing beauty
They say we look like twins
She's prettier than me

Too long without a visit
Moved in right next door
Came 800 miles
Just To be ignored

Her option of me
Matters more than most
Too my face, critical
Behind my back, boasts

Support and edify
Build up and inspire
Ensuring she understands
Her help is not required

Curse when near
Cry when away
The only one to trust
To keeps secrets safe

But I'm the only one
Allowed to criticize
Don't mess with my sister
Don't even try

Dear Crystol, I can relate to your fantastic poem. I am the older sister of my best friend/sister relationship and nobody ever messed with my lil sis without having to answer to me. We definitely have each others back in life. A splendid, soulful piece. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Yup, I have two sisters. We love them with all our being but with strong emotions and conflicting emotions. For sure, don’t anyone else hurt them…rolling up my sleeves. Hugs ~ Kim
