My Sister's Lies
My Sister’s Lies
She said that someday we would get along.
Our childhood fights would seem petty and wrong.
Now we don’t speak and she doesn’t even care.
Is this a burden for both of us to bear?
She said that she would stick by me.
I was more important to her than any friend could be.
Now we don’t speak and she doesn’t even care.
Is this a burden for both of us to bear?
She said that she should protect me,
As the older sister, she felt it was her duty.
Now we don’t speak and she doesn’t even care.
Is this a burden for both of us to bear?
She said that growing up wouldn’t mean growing apart.
That instead we would grow closer in heart.
Now we don’t speak and she doesn’t even care.
Is this a burden for both of us to bear?
She said she would never make me cry.
She never said family could be replaced by some “guy.”
Now we don’t speak and she doesn’t even care.
Is this a burden for both of us to bear?
