The Ashes Of A Sister

A pot containing ashes,
Placed upon a shelf,
Bringing back mixed memories,
Of when I wasn't by myself.

I used to have her with me,
Everywhere I went,
She watched over me with wary eyes,
Counting money that was spent.

A sister can be so protective,
This one was for sure,
Every single morning,
She'd knock upon my door.

My sister died so tragically,
In a bad car crash,
Her ashes should stay peacefully,
The pot can never smash.

(this isn't actually true, I just randomly thought of it!)

Ashes

#household Tender scars you leave in my chest, Permanently there now you've been put to rest. Many many tears i have shed, How much i miss you cannot be said.

Rest In Peace Nanna

There is a new star in the sky tonight Now that you have gone from mortal sight. You have joined the angels in the heavens above Free to soar like a butterfly as peaceful as a dove.

On the shadowed grey of this autumn day when our family's gathered in solemn pray. We've dressed in respectful cloth of black, to engrave farewell in granite plaque.

Letting Go

I keep your black ashes. Next to my bed. I peer at your remains. While I rest my head. I should let go. But I'm not ready still. I'll get rid someday. But I love you Lil. I miss my sister.

Man's Best Friend

Time to close your eyes, my sweet. Time to say goodbye. Although you're out of pain right now. Over your memory I'll forever cry. How you looked at me with your sad little eyes.

Reminds me of 'My Sister Lives On The Mantlepiece'

@Platypus what's that?

A quite sad book by Annabel Pitcher about a 10-yr old boy called Jamie who has to cope with his dad being drunk, his mum whos divorced and is married to another man, his sister jasmine being a bit of a rebel, and jasmines twin rose died in a bomb and some parts of her are in ashes on the mantelpiece and some pieces of her are buried.

It's really good

@Platypus cool!

Phew! Glad it's not true. Good write!💗👍💗
