Safety Pins

by brie kelly wise   Apr 21, 2008


She always said I should be more like my sister
I have her smile but that won't get me very far
When Jill left, we were back to sleeping on Sunday nights
In this sick house, we never talk about time
I never needed safety pins and safety nets
Whenever I left
She never cared if I came back

We are broken more than you can imagine
If I had a safety pin, Jill would still be here
Time goes and yet we're still here

She always said I should do something with my time
Go out like uncle Jay and fight for my life
I am outside waiting for a key to poke through my little hole
I've tried so hard to prove I can't just be thrown out into the cold
I never needed safety pins and safety nets
Whenever I left
Just in case I wanted to come back

She always said I should be more like my sister
I have her smile but God do I miss her
