To my sister down the hall
I must tell mom the truth
You stole my favorite marker
The blue one that draws smooth
To my sister down the hall
Your music is too loud
And you took my brand new shirt
You knew you weren’t allowed
To my sister down the hall
With you I always shout
We are together far too much
I wish you’d just move out.
To my sister up the coast
Yes, the weather here is warm
That is, compared to snow storms
Just outside your dorm
To my sister up the coast
We mailed some things from home
A polaroid of the family cat
So you won’t feel too alone
To my sister up the coast
The hall is quiet now
No longer full of screams and tunes
Yet I am sad somehow
For all those years you were down the hall
I never even considered
A hall without a sister
A hall completely withered
