I feel my chest
Fall and rise
Fall and rise
Like some sick
Heartbeat
Nobody can know
I wont tell
But will you?
Dear reader
Will you?
Tell of the atrocity
Befallen my family
The horrors
Happen to my sister
Will you tell them?
Or shall you hide?
Shall you hide my notebook
And like me
Hide aswell?
Or shall you be brave
And regale the world
The tail of on sick
Sick man
On a wretched sunday?
Dear reader.
You need not continue to read
I understand, however
If your curiosity is too great
For the story is horrid
And i feel sorry for my poor sister
I do.
But i cannot keep it contained
I must write
Alone on the island
Where nobody can hear me.
Crouched in a dark corner
Lit by candlelight
Alone
Alone and so quiet
Hear me regale
This atrocity
To my dear sister
Hear how her life is ruined!
Hear how he is free!
Hear the rage of a girl.
A girl who could have stopped it
But she didnt know how.
When i heard the wet sounds
I didnt know what they were
I was too small
I was too young to understand
So for years and years
I listened to the wet sucking sound
As it grew
It grew into thuds
And it grew into yelling
And pounding
Yes my dear reader!
I heard the moans
I heard the “No!”s
I heard them all
But i never thought.
Not to her.
Shes so strong
Not from him
The pastors so pure
Only acting on gods will
I was wrong!
I was wrong.
One night i come into the story
Yes dear reader,
I got involved.
One night he comes into my room
As i sleep.
He was staying with us
A neighbor with a house ruined in the fire
And how were we to say no
to the poor reverend.
He did horrible things to me that night
That night
I couldnt yell
I tried so hard to fight
Through the chains
But my sister.
She was awake in the next room.
She knew better.
She wouldnt sleep in a house with him.
She heard his voice
Telling me all these things
About my brain
About my body.
She heard him.
And she waited.
She waited till his sleeping body
Laid next to mine.
She waited till he was done with me
She waited till I closed my eyes
She waited till i stopped crying.
She waited till she thought i was asleep
My dear reader.
My sister is an angel.
She knew with all id been through
I neednt see what happened next
She dragged his heavy body out back
Behind my window.
You see
My dear reader
My father is a carpenter
So we had all kinds of tools in the shed
Where he cut wood in half.
So my sister visteted the shead.
And got an axe.
And my sister
My sweet strong sister
Swong the axe down the middle of his skull.
Twack, twack, twack
Mimicking the sounds i heard
Coming from his office when
She had “private lessons of prayer”
God.
My dear reader.
It was beautiful.
The blood blossoming from his skull.
His brains looked like flowers.
She demanded i never tell a soul
So i didnt.
I’m good at not telling anybody
What i see.
Or hear.
