scattered shreds of paper
litter the bedroom floor
the walls shake with laughter
as they have so many times before
the stereo plays something
to which we both can sing along
thoughts and secrets are exchanged
and no-one's right or wrong
you are so much like me
and yet you're so like you
i'm glad it's more than marriage
that makes you act the way you do
i believe the term is in-law
but that's not where it ends
the truth is we're truly sisters
and more important, friends.
