All I have are half-sisters
Five to be exact
and most of them are half-assed sisters to boot

the kind you give
half-hugs
half-smiles
half-meant “I love you”s
and not even half-of-your-time

If I’m honest
I only have one sister
The one I shared
Secrets , tears , and barbies with
The kind you give
Your whole heart
Your undivided attention
And the last piece of cake to.
