Someone's Little Sister

It hurts because;?
we were once so close until drugs made you a drifter.?
The person you used to be... I miss her.?
It's as though I lost a piece - the best piece of me?
&& now I'm just someone's little sister.

I'm scared because;?
you doesn't see your beauty, 
?or shout with courage anymore.
?I'm scared because you’re hurting and I don't know what to do.?
I'm just someone's little sister who's afraid of losing you.

I'm angry because;?
I knew - you denied - and so begun the divide.
?Their fingers pointed back at me?,
and I became the liar fueled by jealousy.?
boundaries were formed while others conformed.?
but "family protects family"

until you're just someone's little sister.
