My sister

by Emily   Apr 24, 2007


Remember the time we played Barbie�s?
You made me laugh
We stayed up until midnight with the light on
All over a stupid teddy bear
We would talk late into the night
I envied you
You were skinny
You were beautiful
You weren�t smart
But not dumb
You comforted me

You cleaned up my side of the room
I cleaned up yours
But I cleaned yours up when you weren�t here
I found it
The object that changed us

Mom and dad were furious
You were angrier
Not at them
But at me
Both of you ignored me
You didn�t speak to me
You spoke to mom
You spoke to dad
They made you speak and forgive me

You moved in with him
You married him
You had a miracle

Where did those nights go?
Do you remember?
Do you ignore them?
