FIGHTING FOR LOVE

Wrote for a contest

FIGHTING FOR LOVE

 

Sister said “I like him”.

I too said “I too love him”

Sister said “mine is stronger”

I said “mine is more sincere”

 

Sister called me a liar

I called her pretender

Sister stared in anger

I scowled at her in scorn

 

“I wont allow you to touch him” sister.

“I wont allow you even to peep him” me.

“You are not meant for his happiness” sister

“You are meant for his disaster” me.

 

Finally she took a stone

Tried to pelt me

I grabbed a handful of dry sand

My aim was to blind her

 

Finally he came

“What are you fighting for?”

He asked painfully, anxiously.

What happened?

 

“Father I love you” sister said

“Father I love you” said me.

“I love you” father said.

“I love you” father cried.

 

He kissed on four cheeks

Two of me, two of my sister

 

I kissed on four cheeks

Two of my father, two of my sister

 

Sister kissed on four cheeks

Two of my father, two of me…!!!

I was really fished into thinking it was two sisters quarrelling over a boy so when the 'reveal' came I had to do a double take. I love it when a piece of writing does that! There's some really cute phrasing used too in the 'two of my father, two of me' lines - it sounds like something a proud, little kid would say. This really sums up the sibling love/hate relationship so well where they go from mortal enemies to best friends in just a few lines. Great work1
