About My Sister

Can you see me?

For I can see you, though my eyes have gone blurry, and I can no longer see the lines of your face. I know you are here.

Can you speak to me?

For I speak to you, though words are difficult to find deep in my ravaged and confused mind, and often you cannot understand me. I know you are here.

Can you hear me?

For I can hear you, though cotton balls seem stuffed in my ears, and it may seem that I cannot follow the words you say. I know you are here.

Can you touch me?

For I can feel you. I reach out to wrap my arms around you, to hold you within me, even when I may not remember who you are to me. I know you are here.

Can you love me?

For I love you, though words fail me, and my arms cannot hold you close to me as I used to. I know you are here.

See me, speak to me, hear me, touch me, but most of all love me even while my mind leaves me, and my body fails me. For I will always love you – you are a piece of me.
