This was originally going to be a one-shot but I dunno something drew me towards free verse. As always LOVE to hear what you think!


There is a secret

A BIG secret
Hidden at the {heart} of
The Black Family
¥Tree¥

Toujours Pur

(not really)

Three sisters
Bonded by Black blood
One held this [secret]
(literally)
Being but sixteen

Swollen abdomen

We couldnt have that now could we...
¥ The Black Tree ¥
Ruined by a ~small bump~ no bigger than a belt buckle

Aching ankles

Though ?which? one was
...Never revealed...

Stretch Marks

It was just an "unfortunate incident"

That brought about her

_Downfall_

^Betrayal^

All Gone

Maybe it was the REAL reason

That she \escaped/

That she !hated!

That she -died-

(on the inside)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A teeny tiny little baby
(boy)

Who took her {heart} with him

As he departed

From this life

^**Forever**^
