older sisters should get married.
you watch her smile into his eyes.
the love so strong. soaring across mountains.
creating winds that are pushing your heart away.
& you know that's not true.
but that's how it feels.
throwing rocks at the barn wall.
running fast cutting your bare feet.
sobbing into shasta's fur.
the tears making dark spots on your dry skin.
she's growing up. she's leaving.
the love in your heart explodes. the rock in your throat doesn't budge. & as you watch them walk away hand in hand..
something rips your heart in half and your head hits the gravel.
he reaches .. touching the line going down the centre of your heart. trying to heal this wound.
he will succeed. this IS happy.
captivating.
