can’t you see my bleeding heart?
yet you continue to stab me,
you’re tearing me apart!

“ don’t give all your pieces away and wonder why you’re falling apart.”

“ I’m not sure why it took me so long to tell someone, or why I wasn’t able to run. Why did I feel like I was the one who had done something wrong? I’ll never forgive you but I thank you for making me strong.”

Do you remember the very first time you touched me?
It was dark that night, I was so scared because what happened next was really hard to believe.
Do you remember that I tried to move?
I was uncomfortable in my own bed -
That didn’t stop you, of course you felt you had something to prove.
Do you remember lifting my hair?
Probably feeling excited to find my sleeping eyes -
My body all over was paralyzed.
Do you remember all my terrified screams?
Probably not, I’m pretty sure that only I could hear -
Really hoping to wake up from this frightening, evil dream.
Do you remember how we had known each other forever?
You were my best friends older brother!!!

But I’ll remember that when I was 11, how you were so greedy and just like the ******* others!!!
And you’ll just remember how we were always hidden under the covers...
