Lost

Sister

By Brittany SmithPublished 5 days ago 1 min read

She inhales deep trying to catch a beat

But it just tugs at her lungs

She crumbles and stumbles

And falls to the floor, almost to say we’ve been here before

The smell of the puke stained to her lips

Pressed gently to the machines, girl get a grip

Burned into my memory, my very core

She’s gone again, her body like waves swept to the shore

Her eyes heavy cheeks puffy a shell of who she was

All because the drugs that she does

Will she make it this time around

No one will know if her soul isn’t found

Lost in her ways she may never come back

I’ve tried so many ways it’s hard to keep track

I love her deeper then summers need to kiss the trees

The leaves that sway begging to be freed

Her baby is in good hands now

I have her wrapped tight anyhow

I wish for you on all the stars

To remember who you really are?
