A Parasite In a Family
By Kaye
My sister that I grew up with
Is going crazy by the hour
By the day
By the second
Until
I no longer knew her at all.
*
It hurts to see her like this
It hurts to see something unidentified
Something incurable
Something untouchable
A pain that you can’t heal or touch
Let alone understand it.
*
Dad
Doesn’t let me help
Doesn’t let me touch
Doesn’t let me see
This pain that’s eradicating from her
That’s spreading all around our family
Like a parasite that only wants to kill
