I was the old rusted penny
while you held today's luster
My mockery, a miserable mask
hid envious eyes
In the past my support was a paper bag
catching rain
it doesn't justify your pain
but if I fall asleep and stay that way
know that I loved you from day one
Author notes
Dedicated to my baby sister.
Words I've been to weak to say.
