My Sister's Keeper

You smelled like beeswax In your yellow sweater when I met you On his bed Such bright eyes Big sister, big dreams Told me to follow mine So I did And I climbed mountains But I should have stayed behind The coffee and the vodka Lemonade summer on your breath I saw you waste a w a y with bottles in your teeth You should be full Like Sylvia but- Now everyone is skipping rope And crossing finish lines My sister, blonde haired beauty She's still waiting at the gate.
