Sister.
Shouts, screams
Slamming doors
Banging on walls
Banging on floors
Broken glass
Scared voices
Timid eyes
Hard choices
Send her away
Or keep the anger
Fix the problem
Or retain the danger
Seconds of happiness
Weeks of fighting
Show her love
She’ll go on biting
Razor teeth
In family flesh
Nothing to do
We want what’s best
Not to be perfect
Only kind
It’s somewhere in there
But hard to find
Where’s the girl
So sweet and gentle
I lie and hope
It’s just a rental
Give her love
And family virtue
There’s no way
She’ll ever hurt you.
