Little Sister

RSS

By ray!

There are tears on her face And the cut on her cheek bone Still bleeds fresh blood even though The tears constantly wash it clean She’s shivering, sobbing and shattered inside And he looks on, Unable to take her pain for himself He cradles her head against his chest There is blood on his shirt, sticky and moist And on his fingers, blood that burrowed under His nails and cuticles is visible too He knows he doesn’t have much time So he kisses her head and holds her tighter, His little sister One is disabled by her pain, the other by the truth He was unable to see when anger clouded his vision “Will he come for me again?” is all she can ask His eyes slowly close and the answer is there He wants to tell her but doesn’t want it to feel real She feels his hungry hands on her body and remembers She tried to fight back She can still hear his greedy, ragged breathing But her brother knows he will never breathe again

Wow! This is a very strong poem! I love how the story is hidden in it! It's so sad that this can be a reality. Kind of eye-opening... I'm sure many can relate to the emotion behind it, simply because of the title! Great poem!
