To my Pearl

I have so many things to say 
To you, for you, about you 
But I can't bear to think them
Cuz I just miss you 
A fate stronger than genetics made 
us sisters, an impenetrable bond 
woven by a love for something 
bigger than the both of us. Yet, 
I can't help but wonder why fate
does the things it does. As these 
tears run from my eyes, they are
minor indications of the heartbreak 
I feel inside. And somehow in my 
head, I hear you telling me not to cry. But
maybe my head doesn't reach my
heart cuz it continues to ache.
And all I can think is, it's not fair
we were so ready for her to be
home. But now you are home,
and I know it has to be a better
place-- because you are there to
reflect the sun as it bounces off
the pearly gates. I don't get why
you're not here anymore. I don't
see the bigger purpose. All I see
is the fallen tree, flawed nature as
the forest surrounds me. I can't
get the big picture, I just don't
see. I can't see. I won't see.
Why you had to be taken
for me. From us.
