Glutton for Punishment.

Glutton for Punishment.

We talked about this
since the longest time;
always creeping into
our thoughts -- a constant chime.

We're not afraid of it,
yet the craziness remains;
we're not escaping it,
our destiny, it reins.

Eleven years and counting
and our bond unbreakable,
we think of our future
the outrage unmistakable.

I've never had a sister
but what if something happened to you,
how would I react,
who would be my babu.

I think I may move on
too fast but I'd still thirst
your affection and presence --
what if the roles reversed.

You said you would change,
completely - anew.
Danger you would seek,
punishment the flu --

not contagious; just for you.
You'd give up and stop
caring, for you said I was
the most important -- stop!

Glutton for punishment
that would be your diagnosis;
you would've completely transformed,
but what about me, sis,

I think I may move on
too fast and I can't stand
that our memories may fade,
our love; our brand.

Because of me;
and you wouldn't ever
let that happen to us
you would let us live
forever with your trust.
