Secrets
Lies
Accusations
Shunning
From one generation to the next
Brother against sister
Child against parent
Vice versa
Who do we believe?
What do we believe?
I can’t believe you said that
I can’t believe you believe that
Your memories are different from mine

Don’t forgive
Don’t forget
No one talks
The facts don’t speak either
There is no winner
We have all lost
Our past has been rendered meaningless
There is no future
You made your choice
Silence
This still hurts
I wish I could stop being angry
I want to move on

I have known you longer than anyone else
Who is my next of kin now?
