I swore

Did he touch you in places that I

Loved you too much not to?

Was he loving you the nights I didn't

Sleep, standing vigil over the world?

I swore to protect him, his way

Of life, so he could sleep with a

Sense of security, beside you.

Did he love you while I lay,

Lonely, in my bed on the other

Side of this great earth?

Was he whispering in your ear

As I glared at another empty

Bottle?

I swore to protect him, and his

Kind, nothing but disgust in

My mind for him, yes I swore to

Protect him, for him to

Feel safe to buy the drugs

I've grown to despise,

Burning hatred for

Him in my soul.

I swore to protect him, his family

But soon, I will stand, watching him

Sleep his final sleep.

I swore to protect him,

I swear to kill him.
