For My Sister

There is only so much I can say
My words only have so much weight
There comes a point when 'I'm sorry'
Is just an apology too late

I've apologized a hundred times
They've all meant nothing in the end
Because I repeatedly made the same mistakes
Over and over again

You've done no wrong
You only called a spade a spade
I don't expect these words I write
To right the wrongs I've made

 

You've always been better at being
An example should be made out of you
On how to be the best sister
When your sisters not the best for you

 

I've done my share of doing dirty
To deserve all the pain I get
But of all the people I have hurt
Its hurting my family I most regret

I love and miss you sister!
Always

Author's Note

My sister Ashley is the kind of person I wish I was. I haven't always been the best big sister and I regret that.

This is excellently written and expressed KJ. I have a same sex sibling myself and have in the past, "done dirty" as you put it. I only hope I can express my regret and appreciation as clearly as you have with this piece so that, I can ease any suffering I have caused to my own family. Cheers! I hope you one day get through.

Lots to say..but I leave this...don't regret just take this time to change things...all a sister wants ...is her sister in her life...just like you do

I went through a period in my life where I wasn't the best big brother to my sister. We didn't speak for over ten years. The hardheaded one was me...I decided that it wasn't worth it and worked to regain her trust. I did and now we are best friends. Sometimes we have to put our beliefs aside and make amends. No two people are ever going to see eye to eye on everything, but staring someone in the eye and telling them you are sorry is certainly a step in the right direction, if that is what you want. This was very well written and jam packed with emotion. I sense that a rekindled friendship will be blooming very soon. Very nice KJ.

my older sister passed away on April 2nd...she was deeply loved and is dearly missed. my baby sister and i haven't spoken for over a year...we are both too hard headed to compromise. i love her and miss her every day. we used to be so close. yes, i feel this write, more deeply than i anticipated. thank you for reminding me that we only get one life. perhaps it is time to "bury the hatchet"....awesome write
