Sister

Open the window

Lock all the doors

Spill all your secrets

Onto the floor

Remember the bodies

Remember the war

Remember the wanting

And all we endured

Swallow the silence

Choke on the words

Blow out the candles

With all that you learned

Remember your sister

Remember her love

Remember the cancer

That filled up her lungs

I trusted you...

Bury the hatchet

Under your tears

We'll run with the shadows

'til we disappear
