Cry like a big girl - alone


I remember that day
when i left you out-
showering you with
promises
that it would never
happen again
little sister.

I remember the
tea parties
dress up
playing tag
while the sun kissed our hair
new freckles being born
joining the old ones
splayed across our
noses.

It was all so simple back then-
crying together
laughing together
sheltering you from
the enemy that is the world-

then we grew up.

We still laugh-
though not as often
now your the one
leaving me out
but no apologies are given
because now it is time
that i grew up
and learned how to cry
like a big girl-
alone
