Almost sisters, best of friends
we shared the same hopes and dreams.
Nearly twins, they used to say,
might as well be joined at the hip.

What happened to change it all?
How did things go so wrong?
Why was there a split between us?
When did we grow apart?

We made so many promises,
and we made so many plans.
I intended to keep them all,
but you suddenly changed your mind.

Where did my almost sister vanish to?
Who are you, standing in her place?
What did you do with my best friend?
Why did she leave me behind?

I've lost my other half,
and I need her back so terribly.
I seem to have misplaced a sister,
and all I want is to find her again.

Will you ever open your eyes?
Can you ever see what you have done?
Do you ever feel the loss that I feel?
Have you ever wanted to make it undone?

Almost sisters, we used to say,
best friends forever more.
The future was so clear then
now it becomes a painful blur.

Do you miss me, my friend?
Do you know how much I miss you?
Are you aware of the hurt you caused?

Can you feel it too?

Come back to me
my sister, my friend.
Return things to the way they were
and let's make it right again.

Inseparable friends,
pinky swears, and wishes
that was so very long ago.
And everyday I want it back.

This poem is written about some things that are going on in my family, and it centers, obviously, on someone who used to be very, very close to me. I'm so angry with her right now, and I have been for a long time. But I still miss her a great deal, and would do anything to get things back to the way they were.
