Dear Bethany,
It's been a while
Since I heard your laugh
Or saw your smile,
'Cause online doesn't count.
Dear Bethany,
With hazel eyes,
A pretty face
And a perfect disguise,
I thought you knew I cared.
Dear Bethany,
My sister dear,
I happen to know
Your greatest fear.
That you'll never be enough.
Dear Bethany,
Didn't you know
That as Big Sister
I watched you grow?
You're so special in every way.
Dear Bethany,
You think you're not heard,
With that beautiful voice,
Why, that's absurd!
Everybody loves you.
Dear Bethany,
I was the one
Who seemed to always
Block your sun.
Heck, I was the sun.
Dear Bethany,
I tried to say
All that troubled me
Every day:
I didn't want the attention.
Dear Bethany,
Now I'm away,
So I'm no longer
In your way.
Everybody can see you now.
Dear Bethany,
Just rise and shine,
My dearest little
Sister of mine.
You have the power;
Now get to work.
You always should have
Been the first.
You were always better than me--
Now ACT like it!
*************
Dear Bethany, this is me saying goodbye. Don't worry about me sending you any more messages, ever. I'm done.
