Dear Sister, (2)
All the things I wish I would say...
From screaming at the top of my lungs,
To sobbing and whispering quietly to your shoulder.
All the things I want to say,
So that you'll understand what lacks understanding.
Like trying to convice you that I only tried to protect you,
And that I just wanted you to get that I never understood what he was doing until someone shoved it down my throat that something was wrong.
And crying about every time I needed you,
But never got the chance to say it.
These are just a few of the things I want to say,
Like how much you mean to me, and how much I love you.
How much I need you,
And how much I wish you'd listen.
Just a few of the things,
I wish I had the guts to say,
Like open up your eyes,
And look at how far I've come.
Look at how mature,
Look...
