When we were young
you never let me play
I was always to little
"I always got my way"

Your friends came over
never let me take part
you called me names
broke my little heart

"it will get better"
my parents would say
when I went to them
crying day after day

But as I got older
you grew up too
and years passed
for me and for you

While you went to dances
I got my first 2-wheel bike
And while I lost my teeth
you stayed out all night

When you went to college
and we were estranged
I thought you would realize
how much I did change

But I was always the sister
much smaller and naïve
I tried to be you everyday
But my feelings you did deceive

What was it that I did so wrong
that made you not trust me
I’m not a little girl anymore
why can’t you just see

I won’t tell mom and dad now
and I really need a role model
and I really have grown up
I’m not fed from a bottle

I’m fifteen now and need your help
a big brother for protection
but you won’t even talk to me
I’m tired of neglection

So you go on pip
say how you feel
don’t come to me
I’d help you deal

I just want to be you
It’s my only wish
It’s why I always copy you
and you I hate to miss

Would it be so much to say
That you loved your little sister
and maybe when you are away
that you really do miss her

I love you my brother
I wish you could see
that I need you to live
and I hope you need me

I was drowning in my own tears, until you threw me a life preserver

Wow...i can only imagine what my younger sister would say if she wrote poems on this site...it made me think a lot about mine and her relationship...i hope your brother reads this and realizes how lucky he is to have you
