Adieu, By Blood

I wanted a sister, 

Though I didn't ask for her.

We were kids - 

She looked up to me, 

I strode in pride.

Everything seemed bright.

I wanted a sister, 

I didn't ask for.

We were teenagers - 

She didn't like me.

We fought, 

We argued, 

We had our differences. 

I went through therapy, 

Searching for guidance. 

I love her, 

I want this to work. 

I have a sister, 

Even though I didn't ask.

She has friends who she sees 

As sisters, 

I thought it was odd.

I tried being there for her, 

I guess she didn't want it. 

I gave her words of affirmations, 

Supporting her - 

Until I didn't approve.

Still a child, 

She dates an adult.

I had a sister, 

Tried making her see.

I showed love and affection, 

But reciprocating isn't her forte. 

I'm the only one giving, 

It drains my soul.

Should've known her chosen sisters, 

That she'll switch up on me.

I didn't do anything wrong, 

Just gave pure love.

She doesn't want me in her life, 

"Don't worry about me ever again."

I lost a sister, 

I'm tired.

Family isn't worth the pain, 

Bidding them adieu.
