Heartache flowing from a tearful eye
Whatever�s the matter,
I questioned
She didn�t reply
And sent me out in a discourteous scatter
I hang by the door
With a watchful ear
Listening to my sister pour
Out her pain as tears
Oh! How I want to be a comfort
To my weeping sister
Wipe away her tears
And her fears
Again I go
Into the room once more
My sister lowers her head
And stares to the floor
I put an arm around
My sweet, sweet sister
While she wears a gloomy frown
And I soothe her hair of silky brown
A kiss to the forehead
Should do the trick
No words needed
Silence extremely thick
Sitting in silence
My sister and I
Sniffling nose
And a tender cry
My sister looks up at me
With tears streaming down her face
And in a shaking voice said
How I want to
Go to a happy place!
At this time
I wonder
What my sister means
As her tear drops fall
Onto her faded jean
Daddy
She says
Nothing more
Nothing less
Understanding?
I try my best
Daddy
She says again
Through clenched teeth
Oh daddy, Oh daddy
Is such a beast
In time little sister
You will see
How daddy
Can stoop to an incredible degree
Head lowered again
Bedroom door undone
There stands daddy
It�s my turn
The capture is done
Back to my sister I go
I lay on her chest
Listening to the flow
She whisperers
In my ear
No one can ever know
As we lay in tears
A steady flow
Again she whisperers
No one can ever know
