Big Eyed Terrified Truth

Memories Thoughts Feelings Fatal game that they play Rerunning in mind Like vinyl stuck on replay They tell of a story Many years ago A little girl Wounded by the evil world Found by a soldier to save her soul From bright vibrant colour Happiness And warmth The story suddenly all turned to red To blood To words etched on skin Forever to remain Serenades to swearing Trust to tussling Always to never Love to loathing She gave up her all Just to fight for something Long Left for dead in the cold One sided tug off war To end in mud Conceived in blood Still she begged for more Tried to be perfect Yes she did Stopped eating for times on end Ran till her lungs bled Still the soldier turned his head She tried to stand On own two feet Little did she know she was Amputee of lust Hurt Conceded truth Turned traitor This soldier did Shattering ideals Of little girls' world He owned her Like a deer head trophy Shot Killed Mounted himself She fell again Trying to fix What shattered so long ago With bleeding raw fingers She traced his face Hoping he would See Would turn Would change his ways The Soldier broke his promises To always keep her safe Because his other trophies Got 1st place Again she tried to repair All the damages he left Seeming so strong So bold Praised on her progress Little girl was But inside her mind Was her true demise She couldn't let go of soldier Yet he let her fall She couldn't leave him to his own devices Yet he abandoned her so many times before She felt compelled to be his Guardian angel Yet he refused to be hers Ignorance is bliss they say But what about knowing the truth And staring the other way? Carefully placed back in crooked form The glass shards of her life With pieces still gone The red seeps through What cannot be said The big eyed terrified truth.
