We Don't Talk Anymore, But I See You All The Time

People used to tell me all the time that we looked like twins;

they said that when they saw a picture of us,

they couldn’t tell who was who.

I couldn’t see it myself;

you had light brown hair and I had dark,

I had an olive complexion and you had fair.

But we were like twins on the inside;

We shared everything with each other

and we went everywhere together.

You were my best friend, as well as my sister.

 

I’m still finding it hard to pinpoint the exact moment you walked out of my life,

or, more importantly why.

You ruined me to the point where I didn’t want to live anymore-

But I was always the strongest link in our family.

So I put on a brave face and acted like everything was ok

and, after a while, it was,

but you weren’t over haunting me yet,

because one day, I looked in the mirror and saw your face staring back at me.

And I can smash all of the mirrors

and I can burn all of the pictures that we ever took together

but that won’t change the fact that I am more like you in more ways than I thought.

Author's Note

Ok, so me and my sister had a massive falling out, and I haven't seen her in over 2 years. Everyone used to tell me that I look like her and I could never see it myself, up until a few months ago.

Oh that was an ouch! Whatever it was that you two had, the memories and everything, it cannot be forgotten. But still, nice work.

This was very nicely written, reminds me of me and my twin sister, description wise. I would just die inside if she ever walked out of my life! I'm really sorry about your sister, hopefully everything works itself out, I wish you the best, and good writing.

[Bob Sherunkle]

Very well written piece..but heartbreaking all the same.I sincerely hope someday that you both reconcile

[Moniba]

I'm so sorry... You should really take the first step and try to get in touch with her. Regrets are useless and destructive. The poem is very well-written though..

me and my family have tried countless times and she's made it very clear that she wants nothing to do with us
