Bound

So innocent and nieve to the world around,
still believing that hope will surround.
The people she believes in trusts and knows,
they are the ones who will shatter her world.
Left all alone by a mother and father,
now brought into the family she is kin to.
Growing up dreaming of better tomorrows,
looking for ways to hide the sorrows.
Laughter and memories fill the younger years,
now jealousy and evny ring through her tears.
He taught her to climb a tree, ride a bike...
sleigh ride and catch a snake... He made life right.
He was full of laughter, adventure and fun,
she hit puberty - when he turned 21.
The trusted member to watch over them,
secrets now were kept within....
From the innocent crush of a confused little girl,
to the reality of his drunken world.
She lost herself, and her purity to him...
leaving her feeling like lifes greatest sin.
Always living with the deepest of secrets,
never ready to confront them yet...
Just when life had brought her around,
to the point where answers could maybe be found.
... one last conversation, one hope in his voice...
Then Bang!!! .  .   .  
These answers are no longer hers.
He took his life and with him went her...
the nieve little girl still trapped in that world.
No questions to ask, no answers to be found,
just the pain of loosing a person to which
     ....... she was now eternally bound.
                     In the darkness of her youth...
