you and me,
little sister
must learn to talk
without words
words mess everything up
words like
mom
and
dad
like
abandoned
abused
anxiety
hate.
little sister
how shall we fix this
how could we
ever?
how can you fix
something that doesn't
belong to you?
when mom and dad won't talk
we feel the need
to talk for them
but to each other,
instead
little sister,
we cannot
use words
but i don't know any other way
to speak.
little sister,
help me.
