Another Random Ode

Ode to Stolen Memories
by Rachael Ross

Once treasured
Now dismissed

One Held dear
One coldly dismissed

The nights
that were so full of light,
secrets,
laughter

Are now dark and still

The hushed whispers have gone
In their place
Gentle breathing of sleep

Once so full of memories
Now darkness has taken over

The tales,
The problems,
Are now confided
In another

The giggles
The out-right laughs
Are gone
Not to be shared
But to another

For she has appeared
And suddenly
She has stolen
My sister

She has taken my place
As my sister's confident

For my sister,
No longer does she confide in me
But you
