we stood in the kitchen next to one another with our faces blushed with a red tint.

mom yelled as she saw the broken glass on the floor and the water spilled across the tile.

i turned to my sister and said, “she did it!”

it was me who broke the glass,

but she believed me regardless of my lie.

at least i wasn’t in trouble.

but now i stand still,

letting the frigid winter breeze hit me,

thinking of my sister,

the little girl i could not save.

"she did it," i say,

my hands on her grave.
