S i s t e r s

Do you remember?
Do you remember that picture I drew you when I was little?
It was stick figures, one had black hair, one had brown. I was planning on making you a book of pictures I drew, but I never did because you found that picture before I could finish the others.
It said "Sisters are forever"
It was that picture, you said, that made you want to be better.
It was that picture, that made you ditch the toxins.
It was that picture.

Do you remember?
Do you remember you calling me telling me about what had been going on the first time?
You were pissed. Gosh, you were so mad.
You said you hated what he's been doing, that he doesn't deserve to be around the kids.
You were right.

Do you remember?
Do you remember the time you said you'd pick me up a week before Christmas, we were going to look at Christmas lights.
You never came.
It broke my heart.

Sisters are forever, though.
