The Suicidal Sister

My suicidal sister,

Tried to die the other day,

By offing herself with pain pills,

As though its child's play,

It seems to be that death for her,

Was often on her lips,

She simply decided the time was right,

To cash in all her chips,

She tried to kill herself before,

A teen in love or so she said,

Then again while she was married,

With her children in her bed,

I try so hard to convey to her,

That she has much to live for,

But she only hangs her head in shame,

Then shows me to her front door,

The time may come one day soon,

When those dark demons return,

And I won't be there to see her through,

When she commits her soul to burn,

I pray that day will never come,

When she succeeds in her dark venture,

As I try so desperately to convince her,

That to live is the greater adventure.

My suicidal sister,

I love more than she can know,

She is the touchstone of my life,

Without her where will I go?

With my suicidal sister,

I will always share a connection,

As I try so hard with all my heart,

To offer her some protection.
