Baby Sis

A Poem by Frieda P
"

A tribute to Lee. x

"
Something inside me died
      when you took your life
you took part of me
           with you too
something so precious
              it bleeds my heart
part of you baby sister 
still lives on
reminders and memories
 though photographs and music
butterflies  a blue hue
              will always bring you home
you float by me on occasion
              and lift my heart
your brilliance still shines
 in their absence
yet every day I yearn for a hug,
 a touch
a sisterly glance 
            that only we knew
you were an extension of me
my younger self
           personified
you were the best of me
of all of us
A painted picture
               in my head
  I pen you a tribute
to honor you with poetry 
Now tears of memories
                 remain and overflow
your vibrant spirit
                keeps me in check
until I can truly touch
                 your heart again
Always remember.....

'I love you to the moon and back'

The emotion is so palpable in this piece, I wept. You give a beautiful tribute to your sister hear, and you remember her in such beautiful and vivid terms. There is such sadness and loss here, such a deep well. Through that space, you have preserved a part of her, and you show us how wonderful she was.

You have a lot of strength to write and share this piece. It is inspiring. You have made a lot of things clear to me in your writing that I can apply to my own life as well. I think I finally understand a lesson that I did not grasp before.

I was on the verge of tears reading this, mostly because my sister and I's sign off always has been "I love you to the moon and back" as well. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking. I could feel the emotion in every single line. Fantastic job.

Review for change the World Comp.

This is a very honest and haunting work. There is a strange soothing effect when reading this and it causes me to think that part of your healing is through words. I wrote a very similar piece to this called 'Haunted', so I relate to this closely. Terrific work

So unbelievable what we are asked to live through...I witness my older daughter with her younger brother, and this I tell you these people are so very important to each other. The thought of them losing each other to soon is crippling. They are each other's home base, religion, and pacemaker. I'm sorry Baby Sis was ripped away from you by suicide. "These delicate minds are the most alive". Thank you for sharing this personal write. I took a lot away from it!!

Welcome. Yes I'm sure and I fully understand.
''butterflies a blue hue will always bring you home
you float by me on occasion and lift my heart
your brilliance still shines in your absence
yet every day I yearn for a hug, a touch"
