O'Sister
Grieving the loss of a Sister still breathing
O’Sister, how far you’ve fallen from grace
I know you’re hurting in this god forsaken place
Darkness is what you know
Full of anger, unwilling to forgive or let go
The darkness of your eyes, a mirror of your heart
It pains me to know that yours has been torn apart
It’s a sickened life you’ve constructed around you
We want you healthy, but there’s only so much we can do
O’Sister, I know you like the rain but this storm you cannot weather
You’re fragile on your own, let us help, we’re stronger together
My sister, my friend
You’re choices I cannot comprehend
We’re losing you, we’ve all been grieving
Your words are lies and motives deceiving
I know this isn’t you, I know your blood runs red
I know your trapped and spinning in your head
Scream out baby girl, we’re ready to listen
All the terror and wrong doing will be forgiven
We’re all here waiting, ready in this lifetime
O’Sister, time was never yours nor mine
Neither this lifetime or this reality
I have no use for dual realities
Come back to us, we’re all here
I miss you my sister
Let me erase those scars left upon your wrists
I know you never wanted any of this
I know you’re angry, I know you’re scared
All this damage and heartbreak can be repaired
I promise, I know, I went through all this too
Believe when I say, I never wanted any of it for you
How do I protect you from the things that you want
The poison that leaves you hollow and gaunt
It strips you of your soul leaving you heavy
Please take my hand, I beg you! Come with me!
If I could wrap you in cotton wool, I would
Maybe I should
Im scared you’ll end your life, even more than you have done already
Come with me now, steady
It’ll take time, remember it was never yours nor mine
Don’t cheat yourself out of this lifetime
O’Sister look at this damage you’ve done,
You’re a raging bullet without a gun
No one to carry you
What else will you do
You’ve torn it all apart
Your family and your heart
We never thought it would go this far
I never thought it’d be you, crying out for a saviour
What more can we do,
We’ve cried out and screamed that we want to safe you
I know it won’t be me who pulls you out
It’s with the family ties which you place your doubt
Uncertain of our foundations
Our make up of sinister origins
O’Sister I’m so sorry that he hurt you
I was I child too, what else could I do?
I'm sorry you were afraid
So I was I, that’s why I never stayed
We can blame our past upbringings for the desolate choices you’ve made
Please forgive me for walking away, it was never renegade
Staying true to beliefs and what right
A cannot enable you to pursue your internal fight
All this rage and commitment to hurt
You need to be steady, sit still, be inert
Slow down my Sister there’s no need for dualities
Destroying bonds and human ties won’t prove immortality
I know your trying to appear a warrior, fearless and strong
But these emotions prove you’re more human than you let on
Your heart is bruised, it’s so broken
The sister you once were will never be forgotten
I know you hate yourself, for the things you do and the things that you done
If it weren’t for the laws restrictions and know you’d flea and run
I wish that you could, run free and be happy
I know I would too, if I were you and you were me
If I could be you for a moment to fix it all, I would
I’d take all your pain if I could
I love O’sister
