As i lay here

As she lay there in her bed
She cried
I looked over at her
Wondering what was wrong
Then i remembered

We were alone
No one would be around anymore
To care for us
We only had each other

They would come soon anyway
They will take her away
Then i will be the only one left

I think They will find a good home for her
I hope they do
She deserves more than this
Far more
She is beautiful, smart, but sad
She needs more happiness in her life

I need more happiness
In fact
Come to think of it
We all do

No one knows where our parents went
Or if they are dead or alive
Or if they will ever come back again
Maybe they will
And come back for my sister
I dont care about me
They sure as hell didn't either

As i lay here
I wonder
What it would be like to live in loving family
If in fact there is such a thing

My vision blurs
And i realise
That i'm crying
I'm sad because of my sister
And what may become of her
She'll have to move to a new school
Make new friends
Its not easy for her to make friends you know
She's not like other people

Why did they leave?

I walk over to her bed
Lay a hand on her shoulder
And sit on the edge of her bed
She rolls over and sits up
Looking into my eyes
Theres a question there
But i dont think i want to answer it
So i wont

I hug her
She hugs back
We have this one night left together
Lets run away
She whispers
And i consider it
But she deserves a life
I tell her so
She remains quiet

We stay like that
In each others arms till moring comes
And They come to take her away
Maybe i'll see her again
Maybe our parents will come back

Maybe little green men will come along
And take over the earth

Fat chance

Maybe they'll find a good home for me
Maybe i'll grow wings and fly away
From all of this

And maybe afew years from now
I'll look back on this day
Thinking i gave my sister her chance
That it was worth it

I hope i was right in not running away with her
I hope nothing bad happens
I hope...
