Twins

Haunted in my dreams
someone calling me.
I can't find them anywhere
shadows are all I see.

Each night the voice more frantic
the face is coming clear.
I don't understand
its me alone in fear.

No not me, but looks like me
have we ever met?
She's begging me when I wake
her pleas I won't forget.

I told this to my mother
a tear slid down her cheek.
She sat down at the table
it took all she had to speak.

She said she was your sister
your own fraternal twin.
She died when you were tiny
and I've held it all within.

You searched for her endlessly
crawling here and there.
Your crying for your sister
was more than I could bare.

You finally slept through the night
so I tucked her things away.
But I knew I'd have to tell you
of her again one day.

Trying hard to end your grief
I never spoke her name.
And removed her baby picture
from the left side of the frame.

Now she's calling out to you
so tired of being alone.
Lets set her memories out
and give her back her home.

I visit her grave often
and in my dreams at night.
I see a happy smiling face
She tells me she's alright.
