Broken-Hearted

I wonder if you know?
How my heart aches so
There’s nothing I can say
To stop you from carrying on this way
Brought together by fate
A friendship we did create
Sisters to the heart and soul
No one would ever know
Though we didn’t share a blood Mother
But I love you like no other
Threaded together in a life of strife
The pain cuts like a knife
To watch you take those pills
And see you oh so ill
If I could take away the pain 
The pain that makes you think 
I can’t see you sink 
Into a darker dark 
 When did all this start?
My patients are running thin 
Hiding won’t make you win 
This battle of addiction 
Again I have to listen 
To those daily doses of wonder 
and questions that come from under 
Can you feel the braking heart of
your sister?
