#17 A Bond So Strong

My sister is five years older than me

I was that annoying baby sister

That always got into trouble

Whatever I done she would get the blame

I walked around nonchalant

Not realising what a burden I was

For me, every situation was an adventure

For her, every situation was

A beating waiting to happen

The day all this changed

Was when she was twelve

There was a terrible accident

That much I could gather

The adults would spoke in whispered huddles

I knew something was wrong

My aunt tried to distract me

By offering me cakes and biscuits

I was on to her although these treats were nice

A  motorbike had run her over

That’s all I heard

I knew I had to get to her

It was only right

She always looked out for me

This was my chance to tip the scale

They said I couldn’t see her

I got into blinding rage

I broke a few of my Aunts best China plates

The cabinet door still hangs off its hinge

How dare they keep her away from me

Don’t they know of this sisterly bond?

Don’t they know she’s always got my back?

Don’t they know whatever happens

She has always been there for me

At seven I had no idea what I thought I could do

The details doesn’t matter

I cried and screamed I gave myself a headache

I still get headaches

Just thinking about it now,

Do not underestimate this Sisterly Bond

To keep us a  part is wrong so wrong!
