Filling in the Holes
By Lisa Rodriguez •
Chocolate and vanilla
Barbie dolls and trolls
As long as I am living
I'll keep filling in the holes.
I didn't know I would have liked to know you.
Instead I overlooked you when looking for a friend.
Two soldiers in the same war,
Crouched in separate foxholes
Our childhood was a fortress that neither could defend.
For so long strangers
Always sisters
Connected at the souls...
As long as I am living
I'll keep filling in the holes.
