Dear Sister, Sincerely Me.

by WakingFreedom   Jul 19, 2009


Dear Sister;

Like a drugged relationship, we were addicted to each other.
We never left each others mischivious sides.
But as our times became unbearable, just to even smile.
Our sisterly bond shriveled and then soon died.
Once we were like two peas inside a pod of life.
Until we were harvested and sent to different destinations.
You were sent to a town of where you could care less.
While I was headed to the waterfalls of deep depression.
Soon enough we weren't attached from belt loop to belt loop.
As those chains broke long ago.
Although we may be sisters,
I can't bring myself to letting you know,
That our paths may be different,
But our blood is the same.
And that my heart may seem too small,
But it beats the love too strong to be given a name.

Sincerely Me.

    I love this poem. Very inspirational, showing how far the bond of sisters can go, even if just one sided. Regardless of how different one may be from another, one remembers what to hold onto, despite all the turmoil. It's beautiful.

    I was very impressed with this. I am curious, is it based on your own life and relationship with your sister? If it is, my heart really goes out to you. It must be terrible to have built such a strong bond between yourselves and then have that taken away so cruelly, leaving you to pick up the pieces.

    "Until we were harvested and sent to different destinations."

    ^^ I liked the use of the word 'harvested' here. In a way it sort of dehumanises you, emphasising how unfairly you were treated and how painful it was to have to suffer the relationship of you and your sister breaking down.

    "While I was headed to the waterfalls of deep depression."

    ^ 'the waterfalls of deep depression' - what a wonderful line. It's different, in the sense that waterfalls can usually be used to describe something beautiful and natural (like the relationship you once shared). The fact that you're using waterfalls to now describe the depression helps created the picture of how something beautiful has now turned horrible.

    It was a wonderful read and if it is true, I wish you and your sister all the luck in the world and hope you can one day rebuilt your relationship.

    I really like this poem. it shows a bond between to sisters that cant be broken, not even by distance. It kind of reminds me of me and my sister, except, i'm not real close with her, im close but not that close. anyways, awesome poem, love it!!

    This is such an outpouring of pure love it would be shallow to comment on any of poetic guidelines that many hold dear as a formula for literary value. Yet this poem is absolutely priceless
    any way I perceive it.

    Thank you for sharing
