Sisterly Affection


I was learning
To read
Back then
When a
Dispute
Fired
Among sisters,
Friends

I was little
But I tried to
Kill you
I squeezed
Waiting for
The air
To run out
Of you

You kicked
Screamed
And finally
Broke off
You poked
My eyes
And threatened
Parental supervision

“I will
Never again”
Spoke I
Never again
Did I
Ashamed
I tried to
Murder

I never
Spoke
Never
Confessed
Until today
A decade
And a few
Years later

I love
My sister
But
Sometimes
I just
Want
To
Kill her.
