ALL I WANTED

my sister... a beautiful blonde

with crystal blue eyes and a cold heart

we once shared a special bond

but we somehow grew apart



we no longer hid in the frigidaire

or played silly little games

or washed each other's hair

or play with our barbie dames



we fought with words

that cut like knives

cursed the other and flipped the bird

and bribed the other's silence with fives



i never meant it

when i said "i hate you"

i never realized how lonely i'd get

cuz my only best friend was you



but now you're dead to me

you still sleep down the hall

nothing more than a memory

a random face passing at the mall



all i wanted was to do

was tell you "i love you"
