She Turns Sixteen Today (Concerns For My Cousin) Poem by Witch Baby

She turns sixteen today
My cousin
My almost sister
My partner in crime

Rember makeing cookies
And eating the dough raw?
Rember when boy where still icky?
Rember when Barbie doll's where still cool?

I do
But i don't think you do
And I'm afraid for you sister
So afraid for you

You turn sixteen today
But already your eyes are old
You've lost that sweet innocence
You've lost all that we used to love

Already you've gotten a baby
And lost it
Already you've fallen in love
And have it break your heart

I remeber you
How you used to be
Not you flying higher then the clouds
Not you with words so slurred I can't understand you

But you who said we didn't need anyone else
You who used to fight with me over stupid things
You who I cried with me when Nana died
You who where my only friend

She turns sixteen today
And she always acted old
Now it seems I'm finally
The 'responsible' older one

What happened to you lil' cuz?
I know life can get to much
I said you could always call on me
And I can't help feeling its all my fault
