Today

Today… Today my sister died…or maybe it was yesterday I’m not really sure …how… why… or when… it doesn’t matter now If only I could talk to her again I would let her know… That If I knew that our brief encounter would be our last I could have been kinder The words flew thru out of my mouth I wish I could take them back Yes, maybe I could have been a better sister You pushed me away so much That I had no reason the stay You were wicked… spiteful… and …mean… But you were my sister You never moved on with your life You suffered from the day Daddy died Never to love again… Your high expectations were written in stone… In your cold …broken… sad… heart You never knew the love you so needed You never got what you deserved You asked so little of life Yet should have gotten the world Your life was not sprinkled with true happiness You were loved...but only felt pain Why I will never know… You had so much love to give But you never found peace.. In life and Now death I now wish you peace I wish you love I wish you were here with me again (roll your eyes at me…I know you want to) Love is for giving Love is Forgiving I wish that from you… 8/23/18
