To my sister.

To my sister.

A Poem by Ceri Louise Baylis

We have not got a lot of memories that are fond

 Do not share the norms of a family bond

Lacking shared memories seen as fond Of times that  we were happy for once

Tied by blood shared a home so differently raised You unnoticed and my misbehaviour praised

 Discarded me as a wayward child

From how you’ve reacted with what ive compiled

 Compiled a basis to resent you

You’ve never been there from all I've been through

You’ve had a way of always making me feel guilty

From adolescence to adulthood its now hit me

 Cause all that ive done you couldn't do

Never would you or could you

My previous affection has gone and retracted

 A true callous nature is what you’ve contracted

 You couldn't even begin to empathise

The loss I felt when mum met her demise You only focused on monetary gain

Not showing any sadness did you Lorraine?

 I was in severe shock losing mum so quick

The wrong time to pressurise me that you’d pick Live and let live so they do say

But your attitude has caused me such dismay

I can not forgive and forget so damn easy

No contact is something that will Please me

Even the last time we spoke Sparked  more  anger you’d provoke

 Unable to recall is it two years or three That mum had been gone, disrespect really

The cold hard truth you wouldn't be able to bear

So I will leave you to do what you do best, not to care.
