Baby Sister

Life is the value of love after sunrise, 

The crooked smile in liars and the 

Stutters in my heart beat. 

 Life for me was wrapped up in you. 

With all of my body I knew you were

My only way to happy but, God

Knew greater than me. 

I loved you without a second thought.

Every heart beat I heard, I knew you 

Were mine but, God wasn't ready 

For me to be yours. I loved you before 

Noon every Sunday, when I should have been resting.

I cried for you every second you

Were gone and shielded my eyes 

From your ashes cause that's as

Close as I got to seeing you. 

I wonder what your eyes looked like. 

Is Your smile like daddy's or are you as 

Beautiful as mommy? Baby sister, 

I never spoke of you cause I was 

Afraid of missing you. 

I didn't even know there was a possibility 

Of missing someone I've never met,

I've missed your soft silhouette and curly 

Hair. 

I missed out on your entire hand

wrapped around my finger tips.

You were my world. My something 

I could have smiled at on lonely 

Nights. My baby doll and my 

beauty Queen. You are still my

Sister so, I pray for your soul

More than my own.

The ripples in my heart beat when ever

Momma speaks of you lets me know 

She misses you. 

Love after sunset is reserved for the

 ones  like you. The ones who never

Took a step but, constructed a ballet

In my spirit that spelled out your name 

Across my heart

Whenever I blink in the mirror, I see you.

Whenever I smell my palms, I breath you.

You are apart of me infinitely. 

You may not be bigger than an infant 

But sweetie, you are always my sister.

   Baby sister, I only dreamed of holding 

You. Holding you like I held God on

Sundays. 

Holding you like I held hot frying pans of

Anger. I hold you like shackles on a 

Prisoner, I am prisoner to your love

And this sentence never runs

Out. 

I may run out of breath when speaking 

Of you but, I'll never run out of love

When loving you. 

Loving you in pieces is better than loving 

You not at all, pieces of me still hang onto 

You even when there's no you to hang

On to. 

I painted your room yellow and put dolphins on your wall. I know that 

Combination isn't ordinary but, true love

And sisterhood now in days isn't 

Something that lasts forever, they 

End faster than your life could start. 

I guess our relationship will never be

Ordinary and, I'm okay with that. 

As long as you and I understand what 

This love means, we are the only ones 

Who matter. 

So baby sister, hold this here in your 

Heart: The sky shall always be Blue and 

Heavens gates shall always be White. 

Our love has been lead by the knowledge 

Of God so, there's no such thing as 

Suffering.

Your life are the ripples in my heart beat 

So, even with our breath, I'll always 

Wake up to you. 

Life is as beautiful as your could have

Been curly hair and silhouette. Even 

With out breath, you are still my love
