Trouble of the Sisters
a tear of sorrow drowns
a laugh of joy surges
push and pull
a glimmer of hope in the darkness
a tale of abandon and loneliness
left behind and sent to perish
a brother steals glory
forever marked for evil
darkness stains and stays
destruction of the chosen
light glows and reaches
savior for the forgotten
tides mellow and swell
deemed as dangerous
a halo of hope only for the hopeless
forever in the shadows
