Oh, Sister

Oh sister
What's wrong with your mind?
You used to be so strong and stable
My sister
What made you fall from grace?
I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you
­
What have the demons done
What have the demons done
With the luminous light that once shined from your eyes
What makes you feel so alone
Is it the whispering ghosts
That you feared the most
But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather
­
Oh sister
Those lines etched in your hands
They're hardened and rough like a road map of sorrow
My sister
There is a sadness on your face
You're like a motherless child who's longing for comfort
What's running through your veins
That's causing you such pain
Does it have something to do with the pills they gave to you
What is eating at your soul?
Was it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold
­
But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather
Oh sister
My sister
