My sister

Only son of two loving parents until 1974
Then a wonderful thing, a little sister
Soon a little girl who thinks she's in charge
Angered by the belligerence of the oldest

The oldest makes it clear just how much
The little sister is in charge of no one

Then comes the newest child 5 years later
The sister now forces her dominance upon the new
Still barking orders to the oldest
The oldest never had interest in controlling anyone

40 years later she still barks orders
No one obeys, which angers her more
40 years of insanity snaps the oldest
He tells her off! How dare she bark orders!

The oldest was well within his rights
Little comfort does that bring
When his sweet sister speaks no more
Still angered by his never submitting

He now sits divided
She was always a brat
She was always taking what was not hers
But she was always his friend
And he misses her greatly

Being right is OK
Being lonely is soul crushing
She never had a right to bark orders
She never had any authority, nor should she
But she does have his heart
And always will

She finally opens back up
And this latest battle has left them both scarred
Why does this have to be so hard?

The oldest never lorded it over her
He also doesn’t deserve to be lorded over
Here we go again

Continue to infinitude, or death
Whichever comes first
