She is Her

A/N: This was written for and dedicated to Bitch Du Jour, however, you may be able to identify with some parts and maybe even dedicate them to someone who is close to you. Understand my sister is very close to me and my best friend, and I felt it was time to show her some respect and write her a poem about how cool she is. ^_^ It started off kind of on a weird/serious note, but I got sidetracked, so it's not the best. Besides, I'm not good at writing my emotions.

I'm sitting here writing, it's ten after ten,
You're in the room, listening to AFI again.
You're such a great person; like a sister to me,
And well, you are, what else would you be?
You have a bad attitude about lots of things around here,
Which causes you to get yelled at and perhaps full of fear.
But I find these times to be helpful in a way,
'Coz I don't get to bond with you every single day.
I think of a word to associate with you; 'absence' comes to mind,
Because you're not around as much as I'd like, you're kind of hard to find.
Saying silly things and being a very strange young chick,
Is what you do best; plus, you really like Mick.
When you're not around, and even when you are,
I think of what you mean to me, and I know you'll be a star.
My best friend is my sister, which some think is very funny,
But they don't know how our lives have been without any money.
She's going to be the only one I'll ever be able to trust,
Divulging all my secrets of greed, hate, and even lust.
Years from now she'll be the one to stick by my side,
I'll remember the fun times we've had together, and the times we've cried.
She gets upset when I don't hug her or say 'I love you' back,
But don't be offended, it's not meant to be an attack.
This may sound mushy gushy, too sweet for me to say,
However, I've been thinking about this for more than a day.
You don't understand what I think of you,
Please know though, my feelings are true.
I do think you'll make it, rocking out with your band,
But you need to practice, you won't get dealed a second hand.
I think you're very pretty, and your personality keeps me thinking,
Although sometimes you hurt me, almost as if you'd been drinking.
For right now I must stop this sometime very soon,
'Coz I'm tired as all hell, and you'll be reading this by noon.
Just remember that I don't mean to sound sour when I don't reply,
Because I love you and want to hug you, but I don't, and I'm not sure why.
