When her brother is gone

When her brothers gone her life will end

He is the very one that pumps oxygen into her veins

He keeps her heart pumping

He’s the only one who allows her to go on

Permits existence to occur

Her father abuses her

His tongue is the handcuffs and the whip with nails

His words cut deep in her skin

Her mother neglects her

No shoulder to cry on 

No stories to tell her

The venom covered woman stings the girls skin with a minor touch

The young brother is a drug

You expect to find relief and happiness but an overdose could end your life

For him one dose is nearly enough 

But her eldest brother is always there 

And when he’s gone 

She’ll have to go with him
