To My Big Sister

Hey, Big Sister,

I’m sorry,

I was scared and lonely,

I wasn’t there when you needed me.

I’m sorry,

I was jealous and young,

A vindictive bitch.

I’m sorry,

You don’t have to forgive me,

I was never the best sister.

I’m sorry,

I always loved you,

Even when I hated you.

I’m sorry,

You were there when I needed you.

You protected me,

I don’t deserve you.

I'm sorry,

I should have tried to protect you,

like you did for me.

I’m sorry,

It’s pathetic that I never said it before,

It’s a shame it’s taken me so long to put my pride aside.

I’m sorry.
