Doesn't It Hurt?

Doesn’t It Hurt…
How one man…
Can do one thing…
To change someones whole life?
It Hurts me….
I can’t seem to think
I can’t seem to breathe
I can’t seem to feel happy anymore…
I can’t see my cousin anymore….
Because of my Uncle…
My stupid….
Retired Cop…
Of an Uncle…
Luckily…
He isn’t blood related….
Because Now I can say…
That he isn’t my family…
Now I can say…
I can trust cops…
Now I can say…
It never happened…
But…
Doesn’t it hurt…
That I have to pretend…
That I never knew my cousin?
I still love her…
She is still my family…
Too bad HE isn’t.
