Dear Emma

Rember the words you said?

The kind, loving words?

The I love yous?

The I'll always be there for yous?

The let me do your makeup?

The let me dye your hair?

I always aspired to be like you

But you changed

The I love yous

The I'll always be there for yous

The I'll always protect yous

You changed the way you do your hair

You changed the way you held me close 

You changed the way you always cared

You go and say so many mean things 

And changed your whole being

My sister disappeared

From Emma

Sweet, Kind, Caring Emma

You told everyone the things I've told you

The secrets

The stories

The Tears

And now I don't even know what you call you 

I miss my Emma 

But she disappeared

What replaced her is unkind and unforgiving

You think the things you say help

But all you've done is hurt

And now my heart is burnt

I haven't talked to you in years

And my book I now fill with 

My tears

My secrets

My stories

My longing to have my sister Emma reappear
