I don’t know how to rob a family
of their daughter;
A peptobismol princess they bruised and stained.
How do you erase an entire sister?
Where do sleepovers, makeovers, do-overs go?
When the pronouns shift,
And the T seeps in, where will I tell them
I hid their girl?
Blood is thicker than water in peeling families,
But when the ransom doesn’t come,
How do I introduce a family
To their son?

Blood is thicker than water in peeling families,
But when the ransom doesn’t come,
How do I introduce a family
