Always the Sister Always the Friend

By WinglessFaith

Always the sister 
Always the friend

Not the one in your arms by day's end

Just a girl 

Just a tease

It comes from my lack of ease

I can trust

I can share 

But letting them near I would not dare

I want to be single 

I want to be alone 

Yet the emptiness strikes me to the bone

Special cause I'm friendly 

Special cause I'm fun

Always special to someone but not their special one 

Only meat

Only skin

It's not my heart they want to be in

But to be more

But to be wanted

Could someone love this soul so haunted 

Not just the friend 

Not just the buddy 

But your partner when things get cruddy 

Loved by my family 

Loved by my tribe

Come the night still to loneliness I must confide
