This poem is dedicated to a former colleague of mine who is very close to me; like a sister. Here is the content:
You are always lively
Right from the start
You talk such a lot
With a smile to remember
That can melt even stone
Affection, thy middle name
Thou teaches hate to love
Grief to be happy
Anger to forgive
Haste to be patient
I am thy brother
But not thy protector
Thou are independent
You are the sum
Of your family’s parts
You study to work
And work to study
Hercules resides in you
You’ve seen more thorns than roses
Your shoe pegging away at you
Pain finding a home in you
Not seen or felt by the boss
Nor by the fools
Who exist to cheat
For them, friendship is love
Our bond is a disease
We talk to infect
Even a smile is cancer
I am really sorry
The evil possessed me too
Lies became truths
Truths became lies
But forgiveness never left you
Giving chances is you
The sister I need
But the sister I don’t deserve
