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**^
