One gone forever, sharp and sudden as a knife,
Her absence carves a canyon through my life
And the others - three sisters standing apart
Close in blood, but distant in heart
Whispers of memories, fragmented and pale
Connections that shattered beyond repair's veil
She was the one who might have understood
The spaces between us, misunderstood
Photographs exist, but they tell no true story
Of the silence that echoes, the unspoken worry
Four sisters once whole, now scattered like sand
Each holding a piece we can't comprehend
The eldest who left me before I could speak
The others who drifted, connection so weak
And her - my lost sister - the one forever young
Whose song in my heart remains unsung
I carry her memory like a stone in my chest
While living sisters remain distant guests
No shared secrets, no late-night talks
Just polite Christmas cards and awkward walks
One taken by death, three by invisible walls
Each separation quietly wounds and appalls
A family fractured, connections undone
Four sisters - yet feeling like none
