Two Sisters At War

she tells me to be careful
be aware of the flashing red lights
but i can’t refrain the other
from something she urges to be near
as she is found in the comfort of his love
“be careful”
she begins to hear the distant echoing
as her sister persists to cry out
that single repeated line
once again they’re both at war
one too attached to him
the other afraid of what he could do to both her sister and herself
a light flickers
the blood of her hurt sister begins to stain the light as it invariably begins to flash
the first red light
“it’s okay, i’m okay”
she tells her concerned sister
the blood soaked up under the mat
then washed out as he continues to shower her with more love
she grows more in love with him as the clock’s hands rotate
embedded now,
she holds strongly onto him
he lavishes her with kind words followed through by kind actions
she is at peace with him
her sister steps back
as she acknowledges trust for him
her love so strong
all is at peace
the war has passed
but not for long
whether he intentional or not
light after light goes off
flashing red lights
this time there is no war between the two
instead
she shivers & clings to her sister
for guidance
scared to make a decision
they discuss with one another
she who is woken
by the flashbacks of past occurrences
bringing back nightmares of the pain she endured from a past lover
back & fourth
reason after reason
tears begin to rest in the lining below my eyes
gradually droplets run down my cheeks
leaving tracks caused by the mascara from my lashes
i want him but i must protect myself
i love him but do i not love myself to endure more pain
my heart & my head
sisters
which do i rely on
in fear of what’s happened in the past my heart steps back
my head has gained full control
heavy heartedly dragging herself along beside her sister
the decision has been made
although it hurts her she does what’s best for all of us
my heart & soul will hurt
but my head will guide & help them heal with time
the love i have for him will continue
but in the safety of my companions
God & myself
