sometimes, in the late november nights
i remember you so clearly
the way your rugged fingers
gripped the walls of my heart
and you held my gaze
as you tore me to shreds
in front of my own eyes.
suddenly, the ring which
adorned my finger
glowed white-hot with rage
and i had to do away with it
before you were burned on my skin
for all of eternity.
i never was nimble
with needle and thread.
but nonetheless
i tried so hard
to sew my heart back together.
it's so crooked now
so twisted and mangled
that nobody wants it anymore.
sometimes, in the late november nights
i whisper your name to my favorite star
and pray that your heart stops beating.

Aww, I'm really your favourite sister? ^^ <3
This was beautiful, and definitely full of emotion! Some of it a bit harsh though.. *nervous giggle* But I did like it. Last stanza is my favourite.
Thanks a bunch for entering!
