My dear cousin

by Special K   Apr 14, 2012


It all started out.
With I and you
my dear cousin.
Remember how careless and content
we use to be.
On those warm summer days.
Our hearts filled with joy.
No evil intruded
the safety bubble that
wrapped around us.
Smiles owned our faces
as we discovered more and more.
But everthing changed somehow.
Once older we understood
What it ment when you father
beat you own mother.
The golden hair you once had
now dyed black.
That bright makeup you owned
now dark and gloomy.
No smiles lit you face
the sparkles you hazel eyes held
vanished.
Holes appeared in you clothing.
Were did my dear cousin go?
Who dare take her away?
I can not help but wonder
when you show me your wounds
from yesterdays disaster.
How could you cut yourself?
I could never do such a horrible thing!
I stand aside now and watch you
pierce your own lip
along with my heart.
I pleaded and begged
for no such thing to ever happen
again.
When you informed me of the plan
to take you own life away and
how it went awry.
Tears fill my eyes.
Despair rules my heart.
I look at you but no longer see
The girl I once knew.
Your skin so pale
those eyes so dull.
The life has been sucked from you.
I take you life in my hands.
The burden is heavy
but I'll keep fighting.
I shall never leave you
nor give up.
Praying is what I do
evernight for you.
I will see that smile on you face.
We will have those care-free days again.
I won't stop fighting till we do.
For you see my dear cousin
I forever love you.
