Natasha

for my dear sister...

Those days are far behind us now

The days of me and you

When I cried upon your shoulder

You said you’d keep me from feeling blue

 

And every day you were here, you did

Filled my days with laughter and love

My better, stronger half you were

We just fit   like a hand in a glove

 

You took the lead and pulled me along

When my feet dragged in the dirt

We’d sit and chat till the sun would set

Love built like this could never hurt

 

I came to you with everything

My heart and soul worn on my sleeve

But when I faced my greatest trial

You felt it best for you to leave

 

Tears sting my eyes as I write these words

My heart aches for you so

I think about you every day

How much you’ll never know

 

I don’t know where you are these days

You choose not to come near

But my love for you has never waned

And I wish that you were here

 

Author's Note

Nothing much to say. Try not to be too harsh, this really did come from the bottom of my heart... I know she'll never read it, but I just had to express what was consuming me.

This is a wonderful and touching piece. It doesn't come from the bottom of your hear, your whole heart is in this. Sometimes just the write itself can begin the healing, at least on your end. Stay true.

This was sad and hard to read, but you captured the beauty of unconditional love. There may be bumps along the road, but times doesn't seem to be able to withstand the power of your heart.

This seems familiar. I don't remember it sounding quite so good as this though.

Awe this was sad...I love my sister too. I thought this was beautiful nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. :)

Beautiful final verse, and this poem has a lot of longing beauty about it. It's a touchingly tender tribute (sounds familiar - probably used that phrase too many times already!) and is as usual nicely phrased.

There are a few little niggles, though. I'll message you on those.
