Queen of Right and Wrong

Accidental Poet



Queen of Right and Wrong

 

I know you’re out there

Lurking in the shadows

Sifting through my dirty laundry

Eager to hang me from the gallows

 

Almost since the day we met

You’ve thrown me under the bus

Defining our relationship

The see through love between us

 

Four years younger than I

We’re half sister and brother

Maternal tears in Heaven

The broken heart of our mother

 

Because I trusted you

I got a knife in my back

Your evil heart laughs of

The compassion you lack

 

You say I don’t know what love is

And by that you imply that you do?

As I pull the knife from my back

Is that what love means to you?

 

I see your stealthy ways

Hiding devious intent

You might fool the others

But I’m wise to real meanings you meant

 

You stick your nose

Where it doesn’t belong

A self-proclaimed

Queen of right and wrong

 

Born not from pride

These words I’ve penned for you

But from the sadness of

Your refusal to see my heart is true

    Sorry about your bad-hair day!

    • Accidental Poet

      Bad hair? Who's bad hair? orchi, I'm bald.

      Very nice job on the poem. Sometimes brothers and sisters just never see eye to eye. No matter what. It's sad but, as you say, they refuse to see that your heart is true.

      • Accidental Poet

        Thanks Christina, you'd have to know my half-sister the way I do.

      • WL Schuett

        Again showing why you're such a talented poet , hope you’ve found some peace in your relationship....

        • Accidental Poet

          Thanks Bill, the only peace between my half-sister and I is because we've not spoken in over 5 years. But I figure it's her loss if that's how she wants to treat me. I tried to have a meaningful sister/brother relationship with her.

            You really were born to write AP! 🙂

          • FredPeyer

            Straight from your heart, AP. So well written. Sibling relationships are not always easy, and if they refuse to believe in you, there is very little you can do. Kill em with kindness?

              Thanks for reading and your compliment Fred. We've both been ignoring each other now for over 5 years. But I did tell her that when we're all in Heaven, our mother is going to want a family meeting. I got no response from that.

              • FredPeyer

                You know AP, one thing my wife and I drilled into our kids heads was: You are family. If one of you needs help from another one, you ask. The other one has the obligation to help. After helping, he/she can give the first one hell for getting into that situation in the first place. BUT, family comes first! So far so good, all three have great relationships with each other.

                Very strong write AP, relationships within families can be that way sometimes and there seems that no matter what one does nothing can be changed, the only thing to do is to move on.

                  Thanks for reading Goldie. And move on I did.
