my sister says
"you are just like mom."
she says that
i ignore people
who only want to apologize
people who only want
reconciliation.

well i guess
i should have gotten that down
by now
i am the one
who has been here
to take the ****
instead of in a fairyland
where all of this
doesn't exist
in another
state
I STAYED HERE.
don't EVER tell me
i am like her...

i don't talk to you
because i can't handle
anymore hurt
i will break.
and i know
that you would break too
if i let that happen
so really
by not responding,
sister...
i am
saving
you.
