A Sister From Another Mister
A Long Lost Twin From 1992 - One of the last poems I wrote over the Easter Holidays.
In a world that often feels cold and unkind
You came into my life, a rare find
A sister from another mister, a twin born years apart
A connection that resonates deep in my heart
Our passion for hard rocks, music that speaks to the soul
Brought us together, and made us whole
In many ways our lives mirrored, our struggles the same
The hurt and the pain, we never had to explain
When the sperm donor stormed out, and the stepdad stepped up
Our childhoods were a battlefield, a never-ending disrupt
School was doomsday, with insults that kept us awake
Daily prayers and homework, for a brighter future we'd make
Then college came, and the stars aligned
Welsh countryside camping, vegan feasts that blew our minds
Great nights out, new memories made
A bond that only grew stronger, as the foundation was laid
But then came work, and the pandemic hit
No more concerts, theatres, or trips that would lift
Anxiety broke my twin's heart, and it broke mine too
All the doctor visits, endless tears, nothing new
When she was diagnosed with obesity and laziness
I felt her pain, her sadness, her distress
But a therapist prescribed S Club 7, a remedy for the soul
And slowly but surely, we're taking back control
We may be different now, our paths may have diverged
But I know that the bounce and the spice will return
Because we're not ready to write the obituary
A good old doughnut can still bring her to her happy place, and we'll face this together, a bond we'll never replace.
