To my little sister

I love you like a mother loves a child;
a bond unknown
to the one who brought you here.

I miss you like the day misses the night,
the time where it can find it’s rest
and find the strength to shine again.

I fear you’ll leave me here alone
without the one I taught to walk
along a road so full of cracks that we both fell.

I feel that I’m losing you
through every covered crack,
through every part of you that doesn’t need me anymore.

I’ve loved you, since forever;
since I held your tiny fingers in my own,
and realised you were a part of me.

The lines are blurred, she’s left her mark;
but on you it’s fading so fast I barely see it anymore,
you’re moving on, but without me.

I beg you please wait, please turn around;
I’m here, don’t go - don’t leave me.
I need you, I just need you…to still need me.

Thanks guys, my family's a bit messed up and I don't have a relationship with my mother, my sister still lives with her though and I guess sometimes I feel that I'm losing her a little bit. It's hard because I was the one who was there for her, I was the one who changed her nappies and took her to school, but she'll always love the mother that I hate. I don't want to take that love away from her, and I'm happy that she hasn't got the memories that I have, but with every step closer to my mother it feels like a step further away from me.
