My Dearest Big Sister
My dearest Big Sister,
Hold out your hand
I'll hold out mine too
Though we're physically distant
I'm here for you
For all of my life you've been right by my side
You are my original ride or die
You told me you were going to stand by me
How the hell can you do that if you leave?
I know of demons and you are stronger than them
Iniquitous beast
Haunting dreams, fooling you to believe they're reality
They aren't
Stay and see
I'm being selfish, yet,
I'm not even remotely sorry
If you leave you hurt me
I'm not saying stay for me,
But stay for me, him, us
All of the above
Please remember love
Not the fleeting, inconsistent love of the man that ripped through your heart
But of the one that you gave life's start
Please remember love
Not the unrealistic fantasies of love where no one ever takes fault
But the love of a mother who can't take any more loss
Please remember love
Not the over comprised version of love where you forget who you are
But the love of a sister that you've brought this far
Just hold out your hand
I'll hold out mine too
I know I'm the youngest
But I'm here for you
Sincerely,
Jhonu
