The Forgotten Innocence

He hurt us, you didn’t know Once the bruises healed, there was nothing to show You didn’t protect the child I was You didn’t want to make a fuss I don’t want to put this all on you You always cry as if on cue He hurt us, he beat us, he tormented us to no end He was nothing to us, not even our friend We tried to tell you, we tried to make you believe We tried to hide but didn’t succeed We were locked away, shut away, he threw away the key We were laughed at, scoffed at, made to live for an outstanding fee I love you too much to put this on you I love you too much you have no clue But holding this in will soon destroy I don’t want to be forgotten like a used old toy Believe me when I say, this is not intended to hurt I will no longer be treated like dirt
