Sister

July 3, 2018

We have always had a history

A history of 

Mental illness

Crazy is what you called it 

You tried to drink away the crazy

When you stopped talking to me

Was that to fight off the crazy too?

I thought you were already a ghost

A ghost that came in annual Christmas cards

Your life seen only through posts

We only spoke to fight 

College

Our last fight 

The last words I ever said to you 

Leave me alone

The call 

Tears, a day I don't even remember 

You had to escape 

I guess

You are a ghost now
