Sister
do you think of them
when you lay down alone
do you covet the attention
I receive on my own
is it worth the cost
of losing my trust
to satisfy your jealous lust
touching the lips that belonged to me
raping our bond of intimacy
are you happier now
that it is done
keeping the secret
of what you have become
maybe I shouldn't have known
about the deception
your sex, the lies, and indiscretions
but it's better to know
those who are friends from those who are foe
memories of childhood stained with tears
recalling the pain that lasted for years
I wanted you to love me
the way I loved you
I thought we could be close
that's what I prayed for the most
but you always stole
what you knew was mine
crushing my heart
as you robbed me blind
I never thought it was a competition
even if that was your intention
I guess I believed in something
that could never be
your loyalty only a fantasy
I weep for what I believed was there
leaving me in utter despair
