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.

I dont have a sibling but this piece moved me . IT is sad when your loved ones depart for the heavens and all that remains are memories galore .

My father took his own life Nov. 18,2005. I know the grief. Sorry for your loss Frieda

[Frieda P]

That truly makes my heart heavy for you Creeper, I'm sorry for your loss, no one knows the pain with losing someone to suicide unless they've experienced themselves.
