sister (what i needed to say)

(what I needed to say)

Sister

I was angry or should I say infuriated, unhappy, or even electrified w/hurt these mixtures were in sync with hatred and likeness

I wanted to know who you were, and wanted to know where you came from

you were introduced as his friend and later became his companion

your actions evoked a devious fox; you wanted him all to yourself

I felt as if you befriended me for my necessary approval

Once your access was granted you denied me as a whole.

It took prolonged confrontation and bickering

For us to adjust to a new beginning

There’s a totally new perception of you

That I never would have viewed

If I hadn’t rendered you a second chance

Currently you’re a wonderful inspiration in my life

Secondly your gratification for him reeks superiority

Lastly you’re my sister…

new and improved version

Conversation

Starting with a huff of exasperation

following a door slam

via a chain reaction

fury trying to eat a way at you, you think you’ll never have a conversation with madness

but have a build up of irritation; soon you’ll know you’ve been infected

putting up a brick, brick wall to protect your rhythmic drum

from every excruciating incision being thrown at you

there’s an allusion.

just then at that moment you know… you’ve acknowledged

that this is now a battle

your conscience, but not

adding and subtracting the enticing agony

subtracting and dividing the affectionate affection

she once had

next the melodic beat is in containment

thinking everything is tattered, but all along has been in one “peace”

who knew that a tear drop of hydrogen plus two oxygen could be so flammable?

and who knew it could ignite?
