Sister

How could you rape the innocence of love,

Tear it out of all our hearts,

And just leave us angry and numb.

 

How could you just walk away,

It ended when you walked out the door,

You turned your back to the house,

And haven't been seen since.

 

I know times are hard,

Know that where ever you are,

I forgive you, I miss you.

It was an odd christmas,

There was no cheer,

No fights, nothing.

It was as if we were in null.

 

How could you just walk out,

Not see reality,

Only your delusional function,

How could you tear this family apart,

How could you just walk away?

 

It makes me wonder,

Did you ever care?

Or was I another one of your manipulations?

Were those times that it was just sisters all a lie?

How come you could just forget,

All of us who were there,

To support you.

 

How could you leave me?

You knew that so many have left me before,

You knew what that did to me,

Yet you continued to walk out that door,

The lock clicked soundly in its hole as it hid,

From the unfolding scene.

 

How could your last words be spoken out of hate,

Out of spite.

How could your last gesture,

Been a one fingered salute.

 

How am I supposed to remember the good,

When the bad overshadows,

Like the rain fall on an already darkened sky,

I just wonder why.

 

What am I supposed to say to you?

Sister you walked out the door,

Tore my emotions, from the socket in my chest.

Leaving me a hallowed shell.

So heres to you,

My own one fingered salute.
