For once I’m gonna stop you

I won’t let

Your grimy hands

Touch and tear that beautiful face

 

To put darkness

In the place of bright eyes

To take the glory of that smile

Away

 

So put down the knife

Unclench your fists

Let go

Of the poor girl

Who is clinging

Clinging to hope

Hiding inside herself

 

So while you hurt her body

You can never break her soul

 

She hides deeper than is known to man

Deeper than you

A shallow man

Can ever attempt to reach

 

The depths to which she has gone

With her hope

Which is held dear

By her

But more so by me

That dear hope

Won’t let her out of the depths

 

She is afraid

Of you

Of the world in which you have placed her

The one you have created with your deeds

Are you satisfied?

 

It will take great strength

That you will never have

To get her out of there

She’s the stronger one

Still happy?
