Melissa
sweet Melissa
sweet venomous Mel
I love you even when your biting
we've been competitive
even though you haven't known it
I have hid this
since we were children
my competitive streak
always wanting to do you one better
always watching you do me one better
your competive streak is dangerous
while mine is secret
you hurt me my big sister
my only sister that is older then me; if only by a couple years
in your need to be better you crunched me down
your bigness
swallowed me whole
and I couldn't find myself
my sister that's older
I still look to you
when the going gets rough
I watch to see what way you'll go
how you will react
your my secret longing
even though you fell off
of the pedestal
long ago
