By blood we are sisters
By actions, we are not
Any feelings we might have shared
Were soon to be forgot.

You turned your back on us
For which, I cannot forgive
Your Husband’s family is your life
Is that REALLY how you want to live?

Time progressed
And five years passed
You missed out on many things
When did you chat with me last?

Sisters should be close
It’s what the definition says
I’m closer to my dog than to you
We understand each-others ways.

I wish I had a brother
All my life I have thought this
He would protect me against harm
We’d fight – then he’d give me a kiss.

You don’t know what you’re missing
By turning your back on me
Susan – it’s your loss
Maybe in time you will see.

But don’t think you will change things
I’ll always remember what you did
I may think of you, and have feelings too
But I’ve shut them away, in a box with a lid.
