Who am I with you?
You reached into my chest & seized the tender parts of me Trojan horsed your way past my walls You could have crumbled me You could have plundered me of all my secrets Rained locusts But instead, you called me sister Mayumi, my sister You have made me better than I am You’ve held a mirror to my face & given me bunny ears How can I ever thank you for all the laughter? My ribs rattled from it, that was only ever any pain We linked arms & searched cities together Planned out our expeditions for next time, now that there won’t be a next time I don’t know the steps forward You had mapped those out for me With you, I was someone’s sister, accomplice, best friend Who am I without you? I haven’t a clue where I go from here From hurting, from loneliness, from without you My past is myth I need to eventually get up and write new legends In them, every guide, mentor, and ally They will all have your face They will love with your heart But your laugh? I’ll hold that in my throat & set it free
