You laugh heartily along

as your best friend in the whole universe,

Your little genius sister tells a funny joke to you.

she’s the one who lets you be your true self, glittering brighter than ever

she’s the one who puts the flat side of her fork over one of her eyes and looks at you from far away,

pretending that she caught you in a cage.

She’s like a diary you can confide my deepest secrets to,

A book that can tell you amazing words to not give up,

A star that will always shine your path for you, dark or bright, whenever you need help

And a whole lot more.


Just one careless word

changes everything.

All the laughs, all the happiness disappears,

and are replaced with anger, frustration, and hatred.

You feel like you could never be true sisters again,

like a candle that has been burned until it’s in ashes,

a flame that could be never lit again.


A tentative word whispers out in the darkness

you listen.

Another careful word brightens up the dark, black space around you.

A sentence.

Hesitation then a simple reply.

Back and forth, like a match of ongoing tennis,

a throw, and a receive,

you never miss or drop the ball


And just like that, just with a simple snap,

You’re back in sync with your favorite person in the whole wide world.

Nothing can stand in the way of two friends whose roots are intertwined from the beginning of life.
