Cold Rain

Younger daughter
The forgotten one
Left in the shadow 
Of the fallen son
Older brother’s great sadness
He buries within
To deal with the madness
They don’t know where to begin
Our lives have changed forever
We were never the same
So much bitter sadness
Needing someone to blame
Yet hate changes nothing
Except the ones who hate
For in hatred’s own heart
A Demon will wait
So they push aside the sorrow
To start living again
Time heals all wounds
The only question is when
So now they turn to each other
To lessen the pain
Still all these years later
They can still feel the Cold Rain
