when i am over you i will no longer feel the scrapes of your words on the pages on which i write echoes of your taunts will blow over me, beyond this place of pain sliced by you when i am over you your opinion won’t have power the love shared from sisterhood will be a mere scrap book memory crinkled like sepia photographs warped by time scarred by accusation and gone when i am over you i will still remember a time of laughter and trust as we embraced our differences proud to be friends basking as survivors not knowing then, unaware we had not survived when i am over you i’ll remember with a new freedom and never look back - Alison |

sisters... they are with us before our children and all things being equal they are with us after our parents they hold the memories of our childhood and share things no one else will ever understand. I can feel the pain here Alison it suffocates you will never be over your sister I hope the pain wanes... |

This is very sad, and also very touching. Your ability to differentiate between what used to be, what of that was real, and to be able to take the positive and move on shows a great maturity, from which you will most benefit. |

I wanna give you a big, warm hug. Will you be my adopted sister? You certainly have the ability to convey your feelings to your readers ~ and fans! (Of which I am one!  )"when i am over you your opinion won’t have power" Sweetheart, I hope you don't have to wait until you are over her for her words to no longer have power over you. I feel a tremendous amount of compassion for you to be experiencing these hurt feelings ~ especially at this family time of year. Like I asked before, will you be my adopted 'baby' sister?  Love you, Lasky Girl! Linda  www.lindadowd.com |

Hi Kate, Sisters are forever - and I know no other relationship like the ones that sisters have. It's unique, wonderful and often painful. As strong as the bond is - it's like any other relationship when trust is broken. I am at a point of silence before the rebuild. It's painful and there is mourning for a friendship that will never be the same. Perhaps it will be stronger in the future - and in its way better. But, neither of us are ready to consider moving forward right now. Thank you for you sharing your thoughts. As you can tell, it's taken me some time to come back and respond. I am so happy that you are back at PiP. Alison - NDNC -- not so lost poet, Thank you. Alison - Charisma, I agree - we never get over it. If we are lucky, we move on and grow stronger. Happy New Year - and thank you for reading and responding to my poem. Alison - therightside, I truly thank you. Alison - Linder Lou, I felt a bond with you very quickly after coming to PiP. In many ways, you remind me of my dear friend, Shelly, who brought me here. You both are intelligent, beautiful and among my all-time favorite poets. I am honored to be considered your sister - thank you. I love you and am very, very proud of you. Love, Alison - Lindsay, Thank you for understanding and for the big down-under hug. We will be someday. It just takes time. Love, Alison |
