Sister
Sister, I told you
How much I needed you
You listen to all my pleas
And cry over my bees.
But there's this beast inside me
Stay away from her, it pleads
You are not supposed to open that bag,
But how can the snake not lie?
Oh, well, my sister, you took in all of it
Swallowing my temporary misery.
But what have you sewn?
You made it all your own.
My love for you is real
But I can't put it into words
Because you know me as well as I do
That I'm a meal.
A curse.
A shoo-away.
You see, my darling, nothing can ever come out.
Scarred when I saw six
You can take it when the demon picks.
Everyone is a little broken inside
All I've been doing is not burden you all night.
I hope you understand!
Please tell me you'll never let go
With the dog just inches below me
You're my last hope.
Can you grab it all back again?
You were right and I was wrong.
My fingers are begging to work out
But it just doesn't go with my brain for long.
As you slip away from me
Please do remember these moments
Those fragmented keys
To the garden that is to come.
Sister... It couldn't have been better.
