Little Sis

~ For Mickey ~ 

I don’t know how to grieve my dear…
forgotten how to cry.
I hid away my love for you…
and now you’ve passed me by.

You had a refuge in my heart
I think you stole the deed.
Yet I can’t cry, and I can’t go
where common manners lead 

A double penance, double tears
await me down the road.
It’s squatting here inside of me…
it’s waiting to explode. 

I can’t embrace the loss I feel...
I won’t allow the pain…
So I will wait…and I will do…
my crying in the rain.
