Betrayal of a Sister

The Betrayal of a Sister

You said blood was thicker than water.
You said you loved me more.
You told me you would be there.
You said you’d pull your weight.

I believed you like I always did.
I forgot your dreadful past.
I gave you my trust again.
I gave you a bed and roof.


They told me I was crazy, the water that is.
They told me the love me.
They said they hope the best for us.
They said they’d always be there for me.

I told them I know what I’m doing.
I said I could handle it.
I told them you had changed.
I told them our blood was thicker than water.

You only lasted a week.
You only cared for yourself.
You started telling lies.
You went too far past the line.

I cried and cried and cried.
I hurt to the depths of my soul.
I watched my blood run.
I told you to go.

They were there like they said.
They held me up when I started to fall.
They let me make my mistake and
They never said I told you so.

I have moved on from you.
I have them.
I have watched my blood run.
I have watched my water stand.

You are not welcome in my home.
You are not my sister any more.
You cannot undo this bun.
You will not hurt my soul.

I will not make these mistakes again.
I will not listen to the blood.
I will hear my water and let them help me.
I will move on and love them more.
