Did You Run Away?

It's been several days,

Since you were here.

I am starting to believe,

You'll never be here.

Our parents are crying.

Did you really run away?

Or are they just saying that,

As you're hiding away.


It's been several weeks,

Since you were here.

I am starting to believe,

You never cared.

Our parents won't stop crying.

Just come back.

I hide when our parent's are fighting.

Is it my fault?


It's been several years,

Since you were here.

I started to believe,

You never were here.

A cruel nightmare every night,

Not real, just an awful fright.

You were real and you still are.

I miss you sister.


I finally understand why you are not here.

I'm sorry I was angry,

I'm sorry I was mad.

I was broken when I lost my twin sister.

You were the best friend I could have.

We always were together,

Closer than peas in a pod.

But after the water was boiled,

You were suddenly gone.


I never had the chance to say goodbye.

Since our parent's didn't tell me you had died,

I never had the chance to mourn your death.

Though I cried like I had.

I cried,

When I thought of you.

Not because you weren't ever coming back.

I cried because I missed you,

I always thought I'd get you back.


Our parents never told me before they died.

They were involved in a car crash,

When someone jumped the light.

I am your twin sister,

I was only six years old.

But I will always treasure the memories,

Of Cat and Mouse.
