A Sister's Lament

By Cynthia Jones, www.PoetryPoem.com/poetryandshortstories10    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime

A sister wants to reach out
to a brother who doesn't care,
about the way she truly feels
being drowned, she fights for air.

He said some mean things
she will never forget,
if their parents were still alive
it would be something, he'd regret.

They'd be rolling in their graves
and their grandfather would be too,
if their grandmother found out
her feelings would be subdued.

The sister is sad and angered
about things her little brother said,
she wishes the parents were still alive
he puts them down, after they are dead.

I wrote this about my brother and myself. We used to be connected at the hip at one time, but ever since our Dad passed away, he's said some really hurtful things. It got worse, after our Mom passed away. After I found out yesterday, that he was in Saint John, at my daughter's work, I felt like calling him up tonight and cursing his ears off. I don't know if I would be able to forgive what he said about our parents. It isn't right or fair to defile somebody, if they are still alive. Or even after they are dead. :'O(
