Feb 2014
Frozen, breathless, only eyes can move.
The phone rang, you were trying to prove,
That you did nothing wrong, but you've lost your mind.
I cannot imagine your reasoning behind
What you did, if you haven't gone crazy, if that's what you think.
Your voice stabbed my brain, making me weak.
A cry for help, you ask us for freedom.
A laugh creeps out of my punctured lung.
Are you serious? We won't get you out!
You're insane, a monster, you put words in my mouth!
Your actions are nothing short of inhumane,
Your family loves you, but you're not the same.
"One phonecall" is what they usually give,
Or so we thought, but the ringing lives.
Leave us alone, you've done enough damage!
The pain you've caused needs more than a bandage!

In Christ alone, my hope is salvaged,
Your stay, I pray, is underprivileged.
I ache for you to feel MY pain!
You've killed a friendship, my heart, slain.
I beg God for my brother back,
But you don't understand that He's cut you your slack!
We keep handing over a silver platter
With opportunities galore, but it doesn't matter.
Selfishness contains your soul,
Your choices make our family sore.
I do not know if your remorse is true,
But again, I'll say, "I love you."
