Sister

"I carry your heart in my heart",

I carry your sorrow and sadness,
as a heaviness on my chest,

I carry your laughter and joy,
as the light and rapid beat of my heart,

I carry you,
in me,

Because you are me,
and I am you,
intertwined in such a beautiful way,
that when I shed a tear
you dry your eyes,

and when I smile
your cheeks ache.
