Dedicated to my sister

      fading pictures and shadows
I can't seem to hold on to you
           you're slipping away
and it breaks my heart again

the photo still hangs on the wall
        along with the memories
             you and I
                 when life smiled

          the shadows on the wall
      they dance every night
             like you and I did
when the sky was full of stars

two sisters who held hands
      and dreamed together

              my footsteps echo
     when I walk down the hall
looking at photos and shadows

    I feel like ages have passed
like my innermost was changed
        that terrible day
                   your death

     fading pictures and shadows
I can't seem to hold on to you
            you're slipping away
and it breaks my heart again
