The Day That I Died (pt. 2)

After a while the door finally opened
Sis got me inside still battered and broken
She said you were upstairs asleep in bed
As she gave me a hug and kissed my forehead
Said she was sorry that we had fought
It won't happen again after the beating I got
She bandaged me up trying to make things right
And stayed by my side the rest of the night
The next day to school we had to go
Tried to get dressed so nothing would show
When we got there it didn't take long
Before the teacher saw something was wrong
She took me out into the hall
Asked what had happened, she wanted to know all
She gently took my hand said I had to try
But understood and it was OK to cry
I looked in her eyes so big and blue
And started to say what I'd been through
I was so shaky but still I was trying
When she saw the burn she knew I wasn't lying
I looked in her eyes they were filling with tears
She said she'd never heard that in all of her years
She said I couldn't fight back, I was just too small
But it should never have happened at all
Said if something ever happened again
To come see her, she'd try to defend
Don't know where she went, or where she is now
I want to thank her, I just don't know how
So I guess all I can do
Is say hey sis, this one's for you
Though it may have been a lifetime ago
I still hide the scars so they won't show
I know what you think, I know what you'll say
Why do I worry to this very day
I'm trying to release things that I feel
To fix the past, trying to heal
So when you read this you'll know that's it's true
Though I don't say it much, yes I love you
