Letter to H*




I had big brown eyes and soft curls in my hair

I was your baby sister and you didnt even care


I felt so dirty and like I was somehow to blame

I trusted you and you made me feel shame


I lost my innocence and never got it back

I didnt know who I was and I lost track


I was leary of you for years and didnt understand why

Till one day I woke to the memories and began to cry


I was devestated and felt so much shame

when all along it was you who was to blame


How could you I wanted to know why

you had to get off the phone and quickly said bye


It left me confused and inside I died

Knowing now all along you had lied


But, I'll pick up the pieces of this shattered glass

and learn to let go as time does slowly pass


Theres healing in saying what you want to say

so Ill say goodbye to you on this dark and dreary day


Inside I'll forgive you so that I can heal

but, I'll never forget I'll remember it still.
