We were supposed to be two sisters
Villanelle of Regret

We were supposed to be two sisters;
Equal, supportive, two daughters of one mother and father.
We became strangers on our weary feet - blisters.
*
Two halves not fitting each other, foreign whispers.
I will never find out how it is to have someone close to laughter.
We were supposed to be two sisters.
*
You cannot undo things with gentle gesture twisters.
While one drowns in delusions of grandeur.
We became strangers on our weary feet - blisters.
*
Times showed things in the growing whiskers.
Shuttered quickly by your lies, plunged in lucre.
We were supposed to be two sisters.
*
We cannot rely on gentle gesture assisters.
All the surroundings seem to drown in mediocre.
We became strangers on our weary feet - blisters.
*
We are both wrong war enlisters,
Partners in crime, predicting double massacre.
We were supposed to be two sisters.
We became strangers on our weary feet - blisters.

I know that feeling. My sister pulled away and I never knew why. She's caused so much hurt so now I wonder, is it too late for her?
