I remember..

I remember I remember

When you ran into the house and you were terrified…

I remember I remember

The eyes that cried out to me…

I remember I remember

The blood running down your face…

I remember I remember

Me not doing anything…

As the demon came charging into the house and you shivering and crying…

I stood glued in place not able to breathe…

I watched as he screamed and you coward into your knees…

As you huddled into a ball of fear, I can hear your heart racing…

Tears of hate escaped the eyes that watched this brutality…

Breathing heavily I try to draw the air I will never receive…

You are the responsibility I swore to protect…

I am to blame for doing nothing…

As I sit here in shame, and bow my head

I’ve seen all my heart can take…
