3 September 2012
I lie here, guilt pours through my veins, These thoughts won't leave my mind, I've never worried about it before, Just left childhood behind.
But now the time has come to tell the truth from way back when. To some this isn't a big deal, But I have to make amends.
My sister had a pretty doll, I can't remember the name, But since I took her little doll it's never been the same.
You see my father died in the war, My sister he adored. Before that doll they were best friends, A special love they stored.
And when he left, her heart just sank, There was no magic cure, Until we found her special doll, They're bond was kind and pure.
I was the jealous brother, I missed seeing my dad, I took it out on my little sis, How could I be so bad?
Through the years we became friends, Our love grew so much stronger, I couldn't tell her it was me, That took her baby from her.
She now sits in her little chair, She cares for all my needs, I know that I will die soon, And pay for my nasty greed.
"how you feeling Eddie? Can I get you anything?" I bring her close to me, The truth's about to sing.
"Sarah, I ask you just one thing, the box under the bed." She gives me such a puzzled look but I know her heart will mend.
She slowly lifts up the lid, Inside her magic girl, She looks at me with watery eyes, Her heart inside does twirls.
"I'm sorry little sister, it was me all along." She gives me such a loving smile and hugs me tight for long.
I feel my breaths get shorter, I know my time has come. "I love you forever and always." I did what had to be done.
