I drape my arms around her like a blanket full of warmth,
to hide her from the worlds decrepit form.
I show her that I care in all the things I do
and make her feel safe with honored I love you’s.
I declare I will always be there,
my solemn pledge placed upon her downy head.
I'll fight the fire and conquer the seas
because she’s not just my best friend,
but my little sister to the very end.
Not by the blood in our veins,
but by the hearts that renders it so sweet.
I promise by her life and mine,
this undeniable vow I will keep.
The assurance that I will take the tears from her eyes,
make them into gems,
and scatter them to the wary twilight sky.
The pledge to take her fears from her heart,
make them into nothing,
and banish them into the night so dark.
So when she looks upon the horizon’s face,
she will always know that the love I have for her,
and the measures I will take.
The miles, distances, and hells I would walk,
just to let her know that nothing is her fault.
Know this, my dear, take these words in kind,
because everything I say and do,
is all fully dedicated just to you.
Nothing your ignorant parents say is close to the truth.
What those vial men have done,
is everything but right by you.
I told you that you were worth caring about.
And some day, little sister, you will figure it out.
You will know exactly what I see,
when I look into your eyes so full of pain.
You will find out the angst (and delight) I feel,
when you desperately call out my name.
You will finally know what it is to be loved.
But until that day I will never let go,
and even then I will always be there.
Because I’m your big sister and no matter what,
I will always care. |
