I close my eyes,
the image rises into view.
I want to forget,
pretend it never happened.
How could you do this,
did you know what you were doing?
Or were you simply to evil to care.
I cant believe my trust lied in you,
when all you did was
lie to me,
lie to my family,
and lie to your own.

Unlock the door and let me out.
Remove your hand
from over my mouth.
Let me go.
Let me run.
Let me scream from the pain
of my soul being broken.

You're a Grimm Brothers' Pinocchio,
except when you lie,
It's not your nose that grows.
I want to run from the liar liar,
because when his pants caught fire,
they revealed his true desire.

This isn't a game,
This isn't fun,
You're lips spat poison,
before my innocence was stolen.
I was just a child
No older than five.
I did nothing to deserve it
How could you?
How could you?
How could you?

I lied to myself
for ten years.
I erased a memory
and lived in ignorance.
But it didn't give me bliss,
because ignorance could not undo
what you did to me.
