As cap and gown come into view,
can't help but feel,
As graduation day seals the deal.
My sister, off to worlds unknown,
Leaving me here, feeling alone.
As she leaves, I struggle to believe.
No more laughs, no more fights,
Just empty halls and lonely nights.
Her laughter gone, her room now bare,
I miss the memories we used to share.
High school's over, and so's our time,
I love how we will always be so intertwined.
Though endings come,
and paths diverge,
I stay in this place and watch her dreams emerge.
So here I write
with tear-streaked cheeks,
As my world shifts and silently creaks.
But in the sadness,
one thing remains true,
no matter how you are doing,
I love you.
Full on tears over here- this is a beautifully written poem, Siena.
