What I'm going to share,
I dare not say I want to relive,
To this day its hard to forgive,
Forgive him for what he's done,
What happened wasn't fun,
I was only 3,
when he took my sister away from me,
She was 14, rebelious and daring,
deep at heart she was very caring,
she's my big sister, oldest of us three,
im the youngest yup thats me,
I look up to my sister,
Everytime she goes away I miss her,
I will not forget him and his evil ways,
only if i was older back then, those days,
he would of hated me for the revenge i'd get,
but I was only 3, I could only throw a fit,
He took my sisters innocence from her,
threw her away in the dirt,
he raped her, tore her apart,
took a big part of her heart,
Later on at 15, God I wish this was a dream,
I never want to think bout that day,
that my sister slowly started to fade away,
All I could do was cry and wonder why,
Wonder why she wanted to die,
Even at 3 I didn't understand,
What was happening to my big sister,
Even now I still miss her,
She got pregant, got left alone,
luckily for us she came home,
Seven months later I heard her cry,
I didn't understand anything except Christopher had died,
Christopher was going to be like my little brother,
He wouldn't of know til later my sister was his mother,
For months and years I slept by my sister,
Everytime I looked at her my heart was crying because I missed her,
She was a torn and broken soul,
After all that happened she could never be made whole.
Now 27 and married but still not all there,
Thinking back on that day I realize life ain't fair,
I'm now 16 and I still dream,
Why did he have to be so mean?
take my sister away from me,
why couldn't he just let her be,
Now I understand why I'm so protected,
they don't want it to happen to me,
They don't want me to go through what happened to my sister when I was only 3.
Author notes
This is about my oldest sister, my closest friends know her but may not know the story. Just know that this is very personal and on May 6 if I and my family seem upset its because thats the day of Christophers birth/death. He would now be almost 13..Even though he is not on this earth he's my nephew and I still love him. R.I.P Christopher Michael I love you!!

A very powerful-touching write. Thanks for sharing your story. Since my sister had a stroke and can no longer walk or communicate as she once did (condition is temprorary) I don't spend a lot of time reading poetry anymore. I do, however, watch (while on the train ride to work downtown) DEF poets and I tell you I really miss poetry like this. I mean that real heart felt, true to life (whether subject good or bad) poetry. Slamming is ok, but poetry like this. I tell you it just dosn't compare. Great work. God bless you and your family. Again, thanks for sharing.
