Leaving your door open
Stealing your snacks
“Borrowing” your clothes
Slapping your back
Racing to the front
Calling you names
Saying I hate you
Every stupid game
This is how I love you
I would kill for you sis’
But you can’t borrow my shirt
My friend and nemesis
After all you’re my sister
You warm my heart
And boil my blood
I hate you Cora
But you’re also my love
This reminds me so much of my relationship with my sister. I caught myself smiling as I read it. You were able to trigger memories with my sister that I hadn’t thought about in years. What a gift 🥹 Great job!
This really does capture what it's like to have a sibling
Loving the rhythm of the rhymes and the near rhymes and the playfulness of this poem. I have a baby sister nearing forty years old and the poem made me recall our love hate love.
