You Are The
Sister Of My Heart

You are the sister of my heart,
Not born of the same parents,
But born of the same sensibilities,
Emotions, desires, dreams.
Raised in different worlds, foreign beliefs,
But yet so much alike in thought.
Our hearts and minds draw us
Yet closer to each other.
Share with me your secrets, your fantasies, your passions,
And I will share mine with you.
Ever trustful, confident that my secrets,
My deepest musings are forever safe, never to be recounted.
Locked away in your mind,
Where only you and I
Hold the key...
The key to my soul.
We are lifelines to one another,
Clinging precariously to the thread
That protects us
From the cruelties of reality.

Reach out to me, I will catch you.
I will be with you when you need me
Ever cognizant that you are my safety net,
My ballast against the storm.

How can I ever repay you, my friend?
For all the many hours you listened...
To my words, my thoughts.
You were my ally in the vestiges of war

A place I could go to where
I knew I would be safe from reproach,
Comfortable in the warmth of your friendship.
Thank you, my friend.
