You


You, you hurt me.

You gave me nightmares.

You were the cause of mothers pain.

The cause of father's anger.

You nearly got me taken away.

And our brothers the same.'

Mom and Dad barely kept us together.

While you tore us apart.

You tried to bring our family ruin.

And destroyed my young heart.

It was you who made me afraid until I turned eighteen.

And could no longer be affected by the fate you read to me.

You say mom is to blame,

That we hate you because your gay.

If homosexuality was the only thing you did.

I would not be so afraid.

Because of your lies you give those who are gay a bad name.

Your lies they caused me hurt.

Your actions made me fear.

And yet through your betrayal.

I still hold you dear,

No I can not hate you.

Though you've made it clear you don't care at all about me.

For you are my sister and that you always shall be.

But don't ever forget that the absense of hate does not mean trust.

For while I still love you, it is you whome I can never trust.

I've been through some stuff but God has brought me through. I have a loving partner, a wonderful family and a good cat.
