little sister

i met you when you were new to the world.

best friends when you were a little girl.

from different parents we have come.

our parents wed and we became a family, one.

but our family is different, missing something we cannot find.

you seem so unsure, our relationship has gotten harder with time.

i don't know if you realize the hurt that comes

through the things that you do and say

the way that you disregard me

but then you act like you love me the next day

little sisters are supposed to idolize their siblings

look up and wish to be like them in some way

the way I've looked up to Lola,
wishing, watching, hoping

little sister i wish you felt the same

i wish you could see that this life, the way i feel, is not a game

i wish you could know the love i have always felt for you

i wish you could idolize me the way that i will forever care for you
