Your Little Sister

That strained rack, filled to the brim with clothes.

That drawer, overwhelmingly full of abandoned products.

The canvas with the stupendously painted sunrise thrown to the side.

I take it without a second thought, now hanging proudly from my grey walls.

The mirror that I gaze covetously at you through, standing right next to you.

The half-eaten bowl of food left discarded on your nightstand; I made it for you.

The cracked newly painted milky door that my fist banged ceaselessly at.

Believing one day it would open.

You always stayed an unseen-silent face behind a door.

My tears ran wild with you around.

My heart was never more yearning than without you.

And when I looked back, you were nowhere around.

Your little sister,

May you never leave me.
