Sisters Poem by Aimee Pruitt

Emotions spinning and spiraling from love to hate and back.
Everything seems black and white, no gray, no prism of color.
A word, a glance, an attitude thrown in the wrong direction.
Secret remorse and the smallest measure of guilt.
A sigh, a batting eyelash, sweet youth and vibrance.

Camraderie an unspoken bond, a shared confidence.
Sunshine- innocence- a warm breeze.
A stumble! One misplaced step.
A monster snapping and snarling spitting venom on all who come near.
Dread- despair- emptiness.
A tearful conversation and a tenuous truce.
