Her brother and his friend, taught her
Groomed her early to comply
While in their care
She learned to disappear
Become invisible, to forget
He went away and she was alone
Confused by his absence
Conflicted in his presence
Unstable and unsure how to connect
She was different
While her brother was away
She dated his friend
He felt comfortable and safe
Familiar even
She was different and he didn't mind
She grew to love him deeply
He seemed to anticipate her needs
She blossomed gave herself to him
And they made plans to marry
When her brother heard the news
He came home hysterical
"This cannot happen"
He would not say why
Afraid his secret revealed
She married the man she loves
Has his baby and one night
She wakes to the baby crying
She goes into the baby's room
Her husband is there
She stands in the doorway smiling
She is happy and content
And then….. panic
The shadowy figure
Is the same as her nightmares
She grabs the baby screaming
IT'S YOU , DON'T TOUCH HER
He understands what she means
He groomed her to be his
Talk to your sister man,
She has to let me back in
I love her, she makes me happy
Her brother is sick, he knows the truth
He was there
The secret fractures and splits
Her brothers mind into a million tiny pieces
A welcomed escape
A place to rest and disappear
He is safe now, he won't have to say
How she with her innocent eyes
Loved him, trusted him
She could not know he was there.
