Two sisters,
twins,
beautiful and opposite.
Both fell in love.
One had all she
could have wanted,
got all she needed
in one look, one smile.
Almost killed her
to see it end.
The other craving that smile,
that love,
what was too scared to take it.
Her heart broken
from words she was too
afraid to say
out loud.
One had and lost.
One never had.
Now, tell me--
who is worst off?
