Granddad You Were A Child Abuser
My granddad was a child abuser. I was one of his victims…along with my brother and sister. He then killed himself, but here’s what I’d like to of asked him, if only he was here…
Granddad .. That’s what we used to call you
We were only children, as young as 9,
If only you was here, I’d be able to ask you,
Why .. Why did you do what you did?
You took three innocent children’s innocence away
We loved you, we did
So where did it all go wrong
What did we do to make you so mad?
I looked upto you so much,
You were my best friend
Why did you hurt me like that
Your grand children?
You didn’t intend to stop did you?
You did it for 7 years Edward, 7yrs!
Then you thought you'd take the easy way out
Suicide. You didn’t have a bad life
But you made yourself a bad person
I'll never forgive you
Nor forget, it haunts me still
See, its ok for you, you’ve gone, you had your life,
Then screwed up and made it an early end
When I learnt it was bad what you did
I cried hard, painful tears,
Then when I was told you'd gone,
I cried again, this time, relief and anger
Relief you weren’t here no more
Anger because you left, you got away with it!!!
I still wake up at night and turn on the light
I’m a teenager, who needs the light on at night
Because of you!!! You messed us up, you killed us,
We still breathe but inside you killed us.
We still walk the earth, but inside we are long gone, dead, why?
I'll never have the answer to that,
But that’s the only thing that will ever give us any justice, why.
