SISTER

You were my sister
You were also my first kill
More a catastrophe
Than a deliberate act of will
One half of a fruitful womb
Half of flesh and bone
An emptiness that follows me
In a life I lead alone

You're my sister
My continual ordeal
No sleep in sixteen years
This hurt can never heal
One half of a fruitful womb
Half of flesh and bone
An emptiness that follows me
In a life I lead alone

So sure I'll never become whole
Severed Siamese soul
And I'm so scared of my meanderings
And indifference

Silent sister
Pure serenity and grace
Haunting accusations
In every female face
One half of a fruitful womb
Half of flesh and bone
An emptiness that follows me
In a life I lead alone

Incomplete gestation
Umbilical strangulation
Rip apart this matted blood clot
Psycho patched up guilt trip shit
Feel a need for cutting loose
From this carbon coloured
Karmic noose
Break away from the shadow play
And the torment of my mind
 
Silent sister
That's so easy to conceal
A twisted broken secret
I cannot reveal
One half of a fruitful womb
One half of flesh and bone
An emptiness that follows me
In a life I lead alone
