The Invisible Chain

The Invisible Chain

A Poem by Shapirta
"

a poem, please rate and review please!

"
my sister.
her life.
haunted by a disease.
cancer.
a civil war in her body.
fighting.
for life.

I feel sorry.
bad.
her pain.
her loss.
her suffering.
but.
I am torn.

I love her.
I really do love her.
yet,
I can't go anywhere.
without her.
I can't go to parties.
without her.
I can't have time alone.

it's not fair.
for her.
and for me.
I am bound.
bound by an invisible chain.
holding me together,
with someone I love,
yet hate.

my last memory.
guilt and grief.
loss and happiness.
she is gone from my life.
that pure little spark.
gone.
yet I am here.


the chain is broken,
but I wish I could reverse.
now I realize,
I loved that chain.

thanks so much!
Interesting, I like the pattern and emotion from it, and if that has happened to you, I'm terribly sorry.
I would probably change the font, with the short sentences, the words tend to bunch together. Also I might add a couple metaphors in there, just to make it seem less like a one sided conversation and more poetic. Just my thoughts, good tho :)
