Jenny Hurts Her Little Brother

from Your Kindness Let a Monster In by Spiral

/

lyrics

Creaking stairs and whispered words,
the hiss of satin on skin,
mark her late night entrance.

Her cold hands search for warmth.
Her legs quiver.
And sometimes words are made of iron.
And they hold us like prison bars.

And every night you spent in my bed
is marked with a thin strand of silk
that you wrap around yourself
until you’re covered in a thick cocoon.

So I watch you night after night,
writhe and shudder beneath these
thin white threads.

Then you finally free yourself
and leave me behind.

But I know that every part of you is sacred.
Even your cast off remains.
So I stay here and watch your old cocoon
and remember all the times you used me to build it.

We don’t hear from you anymore Jenny.
Our parent’s won’t speak your name.
And I don’t think I’ll ever leave this place
while your memory holds me down.

Get off me Jenny.
Get off me Jenny.
Get off me Jenny.
But don’t leave me here alone.

Oh Jenny, I remember one Sunday morning,
when our drunken father sat ranting and raving. And you took my small hand in yours. And for one split second we were invincible.

Oh Jenny.
Oh Jenny, Don’t leave me here.
Don’t leave me now.
