Such a Clever Little Girl. (Certainly Not You)

What would you do, for her?
How far will you go?
Are you going to save her?
Or will you turn around the second she starts screaming?

You promise you'll be there forever,
Forever only lasts weeks, sometimes.
How long is your forever?
Can you stop it?
Can you save her?
No you can't.

You feel the self-doubt,
Lurking in the back of your mind.
Can you get that voice to shut up?
Can you gather the courage?
Better hurry, the monsters are coming for her.

And now the screaming begins.
It echoes across the room,
Bloodcurdling and terrified.
They haven't even touched her yet.
Make your decision fast, girl.
Otherwise she's gone.

Step forward, trying to be brave.
It's just dumb love.
Let the monsters take you instead;
Fair trade.
She turns away the second you start to scream,
And you never see her again.
