She blew me out like a forest fire
Just when I found oxygen
To come into my own
She erased me only too easily
In what sane, rational world
Do I create myself again and again
As someone else's shadow?
Handing her everything I earned
And everything I own.
Back before when we were sisters of the mind
I felt myself outgrowing the modes
While she slid in nicely
And with the greatest of ease
It was always me who sacrificed status for self
And her who jumped on the bandwagon
Reaping the rewards
While I faded further away
And god knows I try to keep up with myself
While she shines effortlessly
With a smile I once recognised as my own
And a haunting laugh that matches my tone.
