Oh sister

What's wrong with your mind?

You used to be so strong and stable

My sister

What made you fall from grace?

I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you

­

What have the demons done

What have the demons done

With the luminous light that once shined from your eyes

What makes you feel so alone

Is it the whispering ghosts

That you feared the most

But the blackness in your heart

Won't last forever

I know it's tearing you apart

But it's a storm you can weather

­

Oh sister

Those lines etched in your hands

They're hardened and rough like a road map of sorrow

My sister

There is a sadness on your face

You're like a motherless child who's longing for comfort

What's running through your veins

That's causing you such pain

Does it have something to do with the pills they gave to you

What is eating at your soul?

Was it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold

­

But the blackness in your heart

Won't last forever

I know it's tearing you apart

But it's a storm you can weather

Oh sister

My sister
