Scared

You used to be so happy
You used to always Laugh
You always had a smile
when you were in a photograph.

But then one day it changed,
you became extremely sad
I wondered what had happened
and why you were always mad.

You told me it was hard
to tell me anything
I told you I'd stay with you
no matter what consequences it brings.

You said that you were worried,
and that your always scared.
You said that he had hurt you,
and thought that he had cared.

I didn't know who she was talking bout
or even what he'd done.
She sat there crying endlessly
as i watched the tears just run.

When she said he'd hurt her,
the possibilities ran through
I couldn't think of anything
that anyone could do.

Then i saw the bruises,
my blood began to boil.
You said he'd do it again,
but those plans i had to spoil.

I couldn't believe anyone could do that,
I wanted to freaking kill him,
so i asked you what his name was,
you said that it was Tim.

So then i knew his name,
and i knew in just one instance
exactly who he was,
and i knew id need assistance.

I knew what i would do,
there was no way i could fail.
He was going to die,
While i rotted in jail.

You told me he'd done worse,
I looked at you with shock.
There was no way he could live.
His life was on the clock.

I killed him then that night,
after everything that had happened,
his life was gone forever.
It's his own fault it was shortened.

Now I'm here in jail
writing you a letter
telling you I'm fine,
and i hope your life is better.

Then you write one back,
and tell me you are great.
Your getting on with life,
and you're no longer filled with hate.

I double check the envelope,
and find a photograph.
It's the one I always looked at,
it's from when you used to Laugh.

I look at it while smiling,
I know now that your fine,
You forgave me for protecting you,
and for ever crossing the line.
