Mellifluous Murmurs

She Turns Away

Each ache I count

Each count I note

Each note I bare,

I did it for you

I do it for you

And I will always do it for you.

But you wouldn't do it for me. 

I wonder,

I really wonder,

That if life sent me to go jump from a cliff

Maybe you'd save me 

Maybe you'd scream "NO!" 

Maybe you'd want to go instead of me,

Or maybe..

You'll finally open your eyes to realize I'm your only sister. 

Or maybe not.

Or.. maybe you'll stand there quietly.. 

Silently.

You'll watch me

You'll trick me

But I'd smile through it all 

Because of you,

Who you are,

What you are.

Because you're the one I try to shield,

The one I want to protect. 

You laughed at my screams 

You giggled at my cries

You chuckled at my moans.

But silence is what I know

And silence is what I'll learn.

That's what I'll be.

I could've chose anybody, but I chose you

And you chose anybody and forgot about me.
