To my sister.A Poem by Ceri Louise BaylisWe have not got a lot of memories that are fond Do not share the norms of a family bond Lacking shared memories seen as fond Of times that we were happy for once Tied by blood shared a home so differently raised You unnoticed and my misbehaviour praised Discarded me as a wayward child From how you’ve reacted with what ive compiled Compiled a basis to resent you You’ve never been there from all I've been through You’ve had a way of always making me feel guilty From adolescence to adulthood its now hit me Cause all that ive done you couldn't do Never would you or could you My previous affection has gone and retracted A true callous nature is what you’ve contracted You couldn't even begin to empathise The loss I felt when mum met her demise You only focused on monetary gain Not showing any sadness did you Lorraine? I was in severe shock losing mum so quick The wrong time to pressurise me that you’d pick Live and let live so they do say But your attitude has caused me such dismay I can not forgive and forget so damn easy No contact is something that will Please me Even the last time we spoke Sparked more anger you’d provoke Unable to recall is it two years or three That mum had been gone, disrespect really The cold hard truth you wouldn't be able to bear So I will leave you to do what you do best, not to care.
