he kneels over me
all anger and silence
I know I should leave
but I feel so frightened
you kneel next to me
all lovely and caring
I know I should stay
but this is so scary
but I feel so wary
I’ve kept it safe within my memory
the pain of his sin
threatens me, and you, and us
here I stand
trudging through hell
before we began
I buried myself
it’s not yours to hold
but you’ll be the witness
this thing is cold
but I won’t let it freeze us
I won’t let it freeze us
I’ve kept it safe within my memory
the pain of his sin
threatens me, and you, and us
me, and you, and us
