Please Don't

Lady, we are so unlikely
to have gotten past anger and pain,
rage, resentment---
all the things someone else put between us,
and you might look at me
as a testement to your betrayal,
and if you can never speak a word to me,
I will understand.
But girl---
please don't.
Everything happens for a reason,
and we may be the only two
who can understand this---
You are brave,
and you will be whole again---
as will I.
But please don't make me
a bitter souvenir
of the most awful moment
you have have known.
I did not call you "sister"
with a light heart,
and that word means much,
but I can only offer.
It is up to you
to decide if you need me
more as a human being,
if i can ever be more than a remnant
of the dream we both lost.
And all I can say
is please don't.
