The Champion Sister - Abuse

The moonlight shimmered through the ripples of the lake water The stars danced about like the animals down under Calm and peaceful, was the atmosphere there She sat at the edge of the ridge with great wonder. Staring out afar, her sadness disappeared As she watched the beauty of nature unfold Like a child she dangled her legs in the water If the trees could talk what amazing stories could be told. On the other end a couple lay in each others arms Enjoying the scenery from above. Stealing a kiss now and then and caressing each other then glancing back in eyes that were full of love This had been their favorite place and safe haven Where she and her sister Lily, would come down to every night. A tear began to fall as she remembered those times. When they both would escape each time their mum and step dad would fight. Hesitating at first, she turned, then looked back And the painful memories appeared Looking again at the house they once lived in, where her sister and she had cowered in fear Lily would hold her tight and dry away her tears And magically produce a chocolate from under her sleeve She would tell her stories of princes and princesses And that they would come true if she just believed. It was Lily’s way of comforting her, making her forget about the ordeal Although she too was scared, she would hide away her pain She pretended to be stronger just for her sister’s sake. Though it killed her inside to watch her mum get beat up again This was their waking nightmare every single night Dwelling in isolation and a monster at their side They thought it would never end, and this was their only fate But as luck would have it, the man up above was always there to guide. The monster had been defeated, dying by his own hand Falling from the roof into to a spike on the ground It killed him at once and not a tear was shed Instead a sigh of relief was finally found. She looked on the other end as the memories disappeared, And smiled as she saw Lily still staring in her husband’s eyes The past was gone and a bright future lay ahead At peace now, as she sat and admired the beautiful night skies.
