Taken
My love stays strong each passing year,
Sister, you were just like my right hand,
Dying too young, our mother's worst fear,
To see the future, couldn't be done.
Anorexia took your youth and body,
Truly your life had just begun,
Open and shut like a fist in karate.
Our time spent together was too short,
Family and friends were torn apart,
Up in smoke not able to thwart,
To keep appearances nothing left to carte.
The tax on your body you paid the fee,
Predominantly killed both and kind,
Fatal issues that we didn't see,
Disease that clouded both are minds.
