Trust Betrayed, Innocence Slayed

Trust Betrayed, Innocence Slayed"
I trusted you, you filthy snake,
A family bond you chose to break.
You wore the mask of blood and kin,
But inside rotted, soaked in sin.

Your eyes were poison, sick with lust,
You shattered love, betrayed our trust.
Your hands were claws, your breath was rot,
You stole from me what you should not.

I froze in terror, couldn’t scream,
You turned my childhood to a bad dream.
I ran, I cried, I drowned in shame,
You carved my soul, you lit that flame.

Two decades burned, the scars still bleed,
Your sickness planted a twisted seed.
Did it thrill you, did you smile,
To desecrate a child so vile?

I hate you, coward, parasite,
You fed on innocence in the night.
But I won’t carry your disease,
I spit you out, I find my peace.

Forgiveness isn’t for your gain,
It’s how I cut away the chain.
God will judge, His wrath is true,
Your hell awaits — not mine, but you.

Powerful poem. My own personal view. I would hang paedophiles.
