Wrote this the other night, had a sudden insane urge to post it tonight. Hope you like it! (Or if you don't, that you at least explain why.)
You promised that when
The monsters came,
You'd be my sword and shield.
You swore they'd never hurt me.
They swooped upon me,
Threatening all I held dear.
As they pinned me down,
I called your name.
A hooded figure
Rushed to my side
And revealed his face.
It was yours.
You said the word
And my loved ones fell
To their deaths.
I tried to intervene
And made their fates much worse.
Your laughter stung most of all.
In a way, you kept your word
For the monsters set me free.
My skin bore no scars,
Just the salty rivers
On my cheeks.
Ten years have passed
Since that awful night.
The shrieks and laughter
Still give me nightmares.
They've only grown louder
With time.
I have returned.
Where once there stood a child,
Now stands a warrior.
False promises won't save you now,
For my sword's much sharper
Than your tongue.
