She was told

"I have to go away....."

She tightened her grip
She didn't want her to go
But her throat was so raw

That she couldn't speak

She was getting reassurance
Sister told her Sister was going somewhere nice for a spell
And she'd be back home

When she was "better"

When she was leaving the hospital,
She did protest

"Don't take my sister away!"

It was necessary that she leave
Sister will come back

Come back a little better than before
But, still, she felt so small and powerless
She lost several things that were hers

She didn't want to lose her, too

Sister is hers
And that day was harrowing
It wasn't a bad dream

(but she'd try to convince herself otherwise)

This was happening
Sister was going away for a spell
And she couldn't stop it

It needed to happen
Perhaps, she'd come to understand
Still, she's lost several things that were hers

(Dad was hers, Senketsu was hers,.....)

And, for all she knew, she'd lose her sister, too.
