Irony

You told her that you'd protect her
And keep her safe from harm.
Ironic isn't it?
That it was you who wished her harm.

You were such a kind man.
But it was just pretend.
You waited until their backs were turned.
Now you're both condemned.

1 year since it happened,
She's paralyzed with fear.
She's hardly ever happy now
Those few smiles held dear.

2 years since it happened,
8 is hardly the age
To have no joy
Or your will to live fade away.

3 years since it happened
Drowing in the tension.
This is what you did to her.
Look at your creation.

4 years since it happened
She's found a way to deal
She claims it didn't happen
Her past no longer real.

5 years since it happened
She's only twelve years old
Her heart in scattered pieces
Her innocence's been sold.

6 years since it happened
Still having to see your face
Leads to dangerous decisions
And bloody scars of lace.

7 years since it happened
She's still remembering
Your ghost still stalks her everywhere
Her pain still lingering.

8 years since it happened
15 was such a tragic year
Every waking moment
Spent with bloodshot tears.

9 years since it happened
She finds it hard to trust
Drowned of all emotion
Her heart encased in rust.

10 years since it happened
It's time to make it right
You're now at her disposal
Beg for your fucking life.
