Twin


The world brought me whatever I needed,

A friend,

A mother,

A father,

A brother-

Yet, it took away something valuable.

Someone I loved,

Someone I adored-

She was my sister,

My beloved twin

My other half...

I do not dwell in a dare farewell,

I know perhaps one day I will see her again,

This isn't a lie.

It's as true as each star is constantly fading away within each millennium,

Each year,

Each day,

And each second. 

It's as true as I sit here crying down at her grave,

With her flowers soaked to the touch,

A dying decay..

I wonder at times,

What life would have been,

If only I knew

If only I knew

If only I knew..
