Someone's Watching

With the water running
I close my eyes and see
My sister puking
Hurting just like me

I brush it off
It's all in my head
I wash my face
And slip into bed

I wake up to a sound
A sob and muffled scream
I think to myself
It's only a dream

In a corner
With her hands held high
Showing them to me
She lets out a cry

The bleeding words "I know"
Carved in her wrist
She disappeared and left only
Her liquid razorblade kiss

I rub my eyes
I was only dreaming
But off in the distance
I hear faded screaming

In the morning
I look in the mirror
I see her standing there
With the look of fear

She raises her shirt
I see burns that won't heal
She whispers clearly in my ear
"I hold what you feel"

Time passes
I'm slowly dying now
She's there by my bed
My sister's always there somehow

As she holds my hand
She shows me her scars
Some that still bleed
She was suffering too
Following my lead

She said she wanted
To feel my pain
She wanted to be with me
When I went insane

Then I realized
My dreams were actually true
She was always watching
She always really knew

***I wrote this to for one of my closest friends. I never really knew how bad I was hurting her until she told me and said that she wished she could go blind and deaf so she wouldn't have to see me hurt or hear me cry. I LOVE YOU BRIT!***
