Incest Sister

Spoken into silence
and emptiness again
The words echo off my wall
into loneliness and shame.

The stillness of my being
awoken from my sleep
Finding darkness in my soul
lonely tears I weep.

Empty words of innocence
of cruelty and of shame
Crying out into the night
into loneliness again.

Painful memories dwell so deep
and emptiness I've known
I reach for understanding
just to find that I'm alone.

Desperate cries in silence
never letting go
Wounds so deep inside me
the pain I only know.

Sadness has engulfed me
the family made me kiss her
Pieces of my innocence
shattered by my sister.

Inside - my innocence is lost
she took away from me -
And in this world of brokenness
there's nothing left in me.
