My Darling sister ruth
My Darling sister ruth
on a stready day, in the hour of four
there came a sullen knock at our door
i ran to answer, who could it be?
looking through the peephole, i saw who i could see
it was that familiar face
that face i so long had tried to place
my killer, he so gently took my life
a long time ago, had asked me to be his wife
my one true love, has come to get me
my husband to be, has come to set me free
open the door, i willed myself
open the door, show yourself
he knocked again, waiting for an answer
i cant open it! i shouted in an instant
gripping the handle, tried as i might
it slipped yet again, and day led into night
no one can see me, no one can hear
please open the door, please, so i can see my dear!
he left a rose, its petals gleamed white
he didnt come for me, my mind shouted in fright
i saw my baby sister running down the stairs
Wait, wait she cried, hold on my dear!
you've come, you've come! she shouted, instant glee
throwing the door open, she said " Come to me!"
My dear, my life my love, how could you?
you took my life, now i have the sullen truth
you wanted me dead! for my darling sister ruth.
Wow ,when I first saw the title it caught my eye to look because my name is Ruth and I thought maybe my brother had written something as a surprise for me. I was shocked when I read this........
