Brother/ Sister

I love writing poems coz for me poetry come flowetry, is a world where nothing is as it seems and sometimes whats said is exactly as is. So here goes my attempt at conveying something that is close to my heart.

Brother / Sister
Brother be gentle, brother be kind, brother be true.
Brother don’t give her another reason to doubt you.
Once hurt - twice shy, twice hurt – brother don’t let this get worse.
Brother don’t steal her dreams, they are already shattered.

Brother she didn’t know you but you made it a point that she never forgets you.
Brother be careful, brother be wise
Brother I hope you got a good look at her, cause like that - you will never see her again!
Brother get on your knees, brother say please…
Brother you stole her precious
And you know you will never give it back.

Sister be strong, sister be kind, sister don’t let him get to you.
Sister he can take all that is tangible from you, but he can never have you.
Sister you are strong, and sister don’t get me wrong there is no reason to hate him.
Sister get on your knees, Sister pray for him please
Sister he doesn’t deserve you
Sister he doesn’t deserve your tears
And you know you will survive, you will get back on your high heels.

The battle of the wills.
The taking of what isn’t yours,
The redeeming of what is left.
The breaking of fragile thing,
The rising up of a strong sister who has a new song to sing
