Oh I am me
I am her sister
the breakdown whispers
as isolation rings her heavy bell
and icicles fall
shattering the sun
dissolving the moon
a band-aid on darkness
when the deepest cuts
take the longest to bleed
approaching the surface
my whitened knuckles
gripping a frame
abandoned by pictures

“O’ Sister”- City and Colour
What’s wrong with your mind?
You used to be so strong and stable
My sister
What made you fall from grace?
I’m sorry that I was not there to catch you
What have the demons done?
What have the demons done?
With the luminous light that once shined from your eyes
What makes you feel so alone
Is it the whispering ghosts
That you feared the most
But the blackness in your heart
Won’t last forever
I know it’s tearing you apart
But it’s a storm you can weather
Oh sister
Those lines etched in your hands
They’re hardened and rough like a road map of sorrow
My sister
There is a sadness on your face
You’re like a motherless child who’s longing for comfort
What’s running through your veins
That’s causing you such pain?
Does it have something to do with the pills they gave to you?
What is eating at your soul?
Was it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold?
But the blackness in your heart
Won’t last forever
I know it’s tearing you apart
But it’s a storm you can weather
Oh sister
My sister
