Dear sister, why do you cry?
On the floor, afraid you lie
This room is dark and caging you
Don't you wish to know what's true?
You don't speak, and you don't feel
You've forgotten everything that's real
The checkered floor is wet with tears
Your eyes are lit with all your fears
I wish you'd turn and look at me
Show me what I do not see
Then I could tell you it's alright
Even if you'd just start a fight
Let me reach out and comfort you
Caress your hair with morning dew
Behind the glass our world will wait
I'll bring to you a happier fate
Dear sister, I am here for you
You're beautiful and you know it's true
If in the dark is where you'll stay
Then I retreat and stay away.

That's a beautiful picture. It really reminds me of family and sympathetic sisterly love. Have no idea why. Hope it's what you wanted!

That was so touching. *sniffle* You have real skill. After reading your author's notes, I went to look at the picture, and this matches very well.
Good luck!!!
