For my Sister

I can't stand to see you hurt by them
Trying to live up to the endless trends
Sneaking out late, and stealing the boy
Who brought you comfort, love, and joy

And it bugs me she does it with a smile
While keeping you tangled in her webs awhile
She used to be great, and a true friend to heart
But as soon as she saw him, she tore you apart

It hurts me to know I couldn't save you from this
The heartbreak, the lies, the sight of their kiss
I want nothing more to tell you of the beauty in the world
But behind this smile is a cynical girl

I want you to know what it feels like with the one
Who can help you see that life can be fun
But love, as I know works in mysterious ways
Sometimes you just wait for the one who stays


So little sister, know this takes time
And if I had it my way it would be a crime
For a girl as sweet, and loving as you
To be left in the dark, forgotten about too

I can't wait till you have the boy
Who you can give your love and joy
And for you, he will do the same
Because you deserve to win this game
