Sister To Sister

annie
how can i say how sorry i am
for leaving you there
how can i make you understand
the position i was in
i realize now that i don't have to
because you have learned yourself
first hand
and if i could i would take it all back
i would stay and suffer it all again
to shield you from him
i hoped that with me gone
that he would change
but people like him never change annie
i know that now
i hope you can forgive me
someday
