Sister

Heart in my hand

We’ve broken the bread

And I choked on a thread

Again and again

Fist in a botch

My arms as they haul

Away from your body

Away from your skin

You see, that’s my twin

She’s standing aside and she’s my next of kin

If only you knew what resided within

I won’t let her in

That would be callous and crass

A chip on my chin

You didn’t want me back

Stark in the dirt

Can you tell that she’s hurt?

So sharp and alert

She’s such a clean breathe

... in emerge

I’m a ghost that I was

A sister of her

And I’m all the same ...

I’ll never give in

How could I applause you with all that she’s sinned

She feels like hell and I know ‘cause I’ve been
