�� Dedicated To All Victims Of Rape, Especially Those Who Are Afraid To Speak Up And Those Who Lost Their Lives

Poem: But She Trusted You

She trusted you
You had intentions
Betrayed her trust
Got really close to her
She trusted you more

You asked her over
Like a lamb she obeyed
You called it tutorials
and choir practice
But she trusted you

You laid in wait
Like a terrorist
And shut the doors
She protested
Then it dawned on her
It was a trap
In a Lion's den

You had your way
Against her will
Took her pride
Yet she smiled
You thought she liked you

She trusted you
You poisoned her drink
She said "No"
She was vulnerable
You raped her
When "No" means "No"

What you didn't know
You created a beast
You signed your warrant
Yes, your death warrant
Like a Lioness she'll plan
Even if it takes years

Until she sends you to hell
Where you truly belong
She will not rest
Watch your back
The girl you raped
Will strike anytime

Then you'll be gone
Until your kind is vaporized
Paedophiles inclusive
From planet earth
For the Vultures lies in wait
To tear you like you tore her
But she trusted you!
