"Long Lost"
  by Remy82


I remember that
It's still so vivid to me
That day when you were taken away
I didn't understand how it could be

It wasn't my decision to make
Yet I had every right to give my voice
But even if I had screamed to the top of my lungs
I think they still would have made the same choice

What runs though my veins, ran through yours in a different way
It ran through your viens in a way that made you who you are today

You are a product of my mom but really that's as far as it runs
We weren't able to share secret stories and me doing big sister things
like annoying you and poking fun

It was all taking away and now you are but a stranger
trying to forget the past
Holding conversations like we've always been together
trying hard to put on a mask

Resentment that comes out from the anger you hold for the truth
Wondering "Why did she give ME up? Why couldn't she had gave up you?"

I can't answer that for you
Cause I cried too at night
Wishing that in the morning when I woke up
You would be there when I switched on the light

But you weren't so I cried more till my eyes had, had enough
Then over time that soft layer that was soft for you had grown tough

Quickly becoming a dream and just a fantasy to me
But occasionally thinking to myself "If she grew up with me, I wonder
how she would be."

I never forgot that you exist
I kept you on my mind my dear sister
The spirit of you could never be dismissed!

The story in this poem hits home. The unorthodox flow was fluid and hit hard with every line. Respect.
