Baby Sis

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.

Thanks Clockwork, you response brought tears to my eyes.

[khalid]

you know..im deeply related to this. such unbearable feelings of losing someone dear to our hearts. it becomes worse when it is a sweet inocent angel. i live with this pain all the time since i lose my own new born kid as i expressed it in my writing(Lonely Lost Kid)..i really feel speechless..

[Frieda P]

Sorry khalid, I know...and I know full well the pain. Thanks for your thoughts.

[David Scott]

Some hurts never heal in this lifetime...
I see a love that was a rare gift between sisters in this write.

[Frieda P]

More than I could ever put into words David, she was like my daughter, my friend and my sister, I felt like I lost all three on that day.

I saw the title, and I didn't want to read it. Not because I didn't think it would be good, but because some days it is just so hard to see the people you care about hurt so much, and knowing that nothing you say can help ease or erase that pain.

A most beautiful tribute Frieda

[Frieda P]

I know exactly what you mean LA, and I love the fact that you read it anyway, much appreciated. Lee would have loved you!

[Frieda P]

It's beautiful, dear, absolutely precious. A lovely tribute to who I am sure was an incredible woman.

[Frieda P]

Most incredible person I've known, she had the heart of an angel. She didn't have a mean bone in her body. It kills me that she's no longer with us.

[Coyote Poetry]

I lost two brothers to suicide. I joined war to find peace. I did. Hard to lose someone you loved and needed. Especially if they are younger and support to out-live you. I could feel the sadness and the lost in the sad poem. We must remember the people who left us too soon. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

So sorry Coyote, I can't imagine, one is overkill. I'm glad you found your peace..it shows in your kind words always.

[Sirius King]

I'm pretty close to my little sister, I cant imagine writing something like this for her...it's painful to think about.

I feel love, sorrow, and hope in this poem

[Frieda P]

There's nothing more tragic then to lose a sibling especially one that had
a great bond with one another. This is a beautifully written tribute to that bond.
As long as she remains in your heart, she will never be gone nor forgotten...

[Frieda P]

No, never fogotten, she's always in my heart, yet so far.
