Sister in-law
saw you as a sister
you played me like a fool
guess we all have different ways
of viewing this world
I will do me
so you can do you
but know if you came running back
I'd welcome you with open arms
hope you're finding peace
in that twisted up existence of yours
was gonna ask
if you could go to the show
but you look way too busy
always way-way busy
being someone you're not
what's in a name?
like when you called me immature
perfectly fine with living my youth
but while we're criticizing
I belive you have no identity
using people's emotions as tools
your love comes with conditions
revolving around superficial things
such as money and status
if that's all you value
then you aint got a penny to your name
was gonna ask
if you could go to the bar
but you look way too busy
always way-way busy
being someone I don't even know
I still have a place in my heart
memories from way back
still wondering why you hated that girl
I think she was special
had away of putting smiles on people's faces
can't turn back time now
but best to remember
karma's a bitch
I bet soon you will get yours
till then
guess we'll both be missing out
you played me like a fool
guess we all have different ways
of viewing this world
I will do me
so you can do you
but know if you came running back
I'd welcome you with open arms
hope you're finding peace
in that twisted up existence of yours
was gonna ask
if you could go to the show

Nice purging poem, DC. Sometimes it feels like if we could actually choose our family, life would be so much easier....I can relate to your piece and I empathize. It still sounds like maybe there's a shred of hope left, so I'll send hopeful optimistic vibes your way... ✨ 💫

Haha, probably not much hope. Haven't seen her since her wedding day. Maybe 5 years ago. And really her and the family was rather disconnected at the time. It really doesn't bother me that much. We all make choices. I know I made some of my own. Just weird to me how people could change. Or just stop caring.
Thanks for reading. I very much appreciate it, friend. 😁

Mine was a friend. I do miss her free spirit and hope to find that in another friend. I don't miss her because well, she obviously gave no ef's about me.

That's how mine is. Though I think she has more resentment towards my wife than me. Me and her kind of helped each other out for awhile even after she started being a jerk towards the family. Eventually I called her out on it and so she lives her life away from everyone I guess.
Thank you very much for the read. I appreciate it 😁
