Paedophile

I know who you are now
I thought I did before
But I realized today that
Knowing you and getting to know you
Are the same thing

I got to know you a little bit more today
When I heard of the sixteen year old
The child you raped
At a twenty first birthday party
So many years ago

The cover up was smooth
So many signed their souls away
To protect you
Lied for you
Put themselves in the crossfire

But I know you
And I know what you are
For years I thought
That I was alone
But I'm learning how wrong I was

Your time is running out
You filthy paedophile
And somehow I'm sad
That it won't be me
Who slits your throat
