-convo between a brother and sister who havent spoken in years

brother sister


So why did u bring me here?


She eyed the ground then slowly lifted her head
Whipped her face and cleared her throat
Initially I was taken back by the sincerity in her voice
And how carefully she seemed to choose every word she spoke

I just wanna be beautiful again
Beautiful like a scripture, perhaps the third psalms
I begged of him to stop but his mind was somewhere else,
And he continued to push on
I tried everything
Biting,
Pulling,
Scratching,
Yelling,
But he was just to strong…..
i always told myself
That this is what he needed
I mean it had be so long


I interrupted…NO

please let me go on
….and again she spoke..

It was a brisk Sunday afternoon
The sun was just beginning to retreat beneath the clouds as
We sat talking for hours about life, philosophy, the bible
And countless other things beneath the stars and the moon
Eventually he leaned over to kiss me, and I turned my head
It was just to soon, my body was lonely and yearned for his
Prescience, but not even time could heal these wounds….
But he didn’t care!
He ran one hand up my blouse exposing my breasts
And the other ran up my thighs……
I saw the lust In his eyes and I screamed
He covered my mouth and preceded on for what
Seemed like hours
Eventually
I couldn’t feel him
I couldn’t see him
I couldn’t hear him
I had just let go……..
When I finally opened my eyes
I lied naked beneath these trees


So that’s….
Yes, that’s how he was conceived

My mind drifted back to a place
where I never wanted to be again
Little Joshua James Givens
entered life wrestling with death
Body blue, emergency C section
umbilical cord raped around his neck
Doctors told me he didn’t make it
Why?
Crack in his veins…..
No!…
not the nephew to Aaron little brother to Kyla
destined to carry on the family name
I remember I couldn’t even bare the sight of you……
But now my body rains pain
The sweat the tears………I’ve never been so ashamed

Hi,

This is a very powerful piece!! Well written. Terrific sense of imagery!! Very profound. I look forward to reading more!!

I hope it all works out. I know the love me and my sister have for each other is special. We have always been close and have been there for one another. There is nothing like love from a sibling!!

Hang in there and keep faith!!
