Absent

Passage of time

is clear to me

I feel it ticking by

 

Mother no longer

asks me if

I have news

 

My sister is

a fuzzy image

she’s removed herself

 

We all go on

with our lives

little contact

 

My sister

has lost

her breasts

 

My brother

keeps his

silence

 

My mother

wrings her hands

and says poor me

 

My tongue

lays flat

nothing more to say

 

I go about my day

knowing I have

nothing to call home

It’s awful and so often the true reason is cloudy because of the emotional factors.
I hope you and your sister are able to reconcile.
Thank you for reading and sharing.

It's so upsetting when families fall out. My sister fell out with me and I have not seen her in 2 years.

Sadly you’re right; these situations are always complex and emotionally charged

The breakup of families is a sad reality. This was heartfelt...:).................
