Baby Sis

A tribute to Lee. x

Something inside me died

      when you took your life

you took part of me

           with you too

something so precious

              it bleeds my heart

part of you baby sister 

still lives on

reminders and memories

 though photographs and music

butterflies  a blue hue

              will always bring you home

you float by me on occasion

              and lift my heart

your brilliance still shines

 in their absence

yet every day I yearn for a hug,

 a touch

a sisterly glance 

            that only we knew

you were an extension of me

my younger self

           personified

you were the best of me

of all of us

A painted picture

               in my head

  I pen you a tribute

to honor you with poetry 

Now tears of memories

                 remain and overflow

your vibrant spirit

                keeps me in check

until I can truly touch

                 your heart again

Always remember.....

'I love you to the moon and back'

The emotion is so palpable in this piece, I wept. You give a beautiful tribute to your sister hear, and you remember her in such beautiful and vivid terms. There is such sadness and loss here, such a deep well. Through that space, you have preserved a part of her, and you show us how wonderful she was.

You have a lot of strength to write and share this piece. It is inspiring. You have made a lot of things clear to me in your writing that I can apply to my own life as well. I think I finally understand a lesson that I did not grasp before.

Thanks Clockwork, you response brought tears to my eyes.

okay this made me very emotional...such loss, and such tribute with your words...she is always with you, isn't she?

I was on the verge of tears reading this, mostly because my sister and I's sign off always has been "I love you to the moon and back" as well. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking. I could feel the emotion in every single line. Fantastic job.

Review for change the World Comp.

This is a very honest and haunting work. There is a strange soothing effect when reading this and it causes me to think that part of your healing is through words. I wrote a very similar piece to this called 'Haunted', so I relate to this closely. Terrific work

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Human Voice, this is a special one of me, for obvious reasons. If only words could heal the loss.

This is a very heartfelt poem for your sister and a very beautiful poem at that nice job!

Your welcome

[sirenribbon@thehptshirt..]

So unbelievable what we are asked to live through...I witness my older daughter with her younger brother, and this I tell you these people are so very important to each other. The thought of them losing each other to soon is crippling. They are each other's home base, religion, and pacemaker. I'm sorry Baby Sis was ripped away from you by suicide. "These delicate minds are the most alive". Thank you for sharing this personal write. I took a lot away from it!!

[Frieda P]

I really love your review, thanks so much!

''butterflies a blue hue will always bring you home
you float by me on occasion and lift my heart
your brilliance still shines in your absence
yet every day I yearn for a hug, a touch"
