Childhood Lost

These words are for that deplorable creep
Who shook my childhood right to the core
Who chased after me like a predator
Who inspired nightmares that made me weep

You made me terrified to hear your voice
You made me frightened of where shadows lurk
You told me to keep quiet - with a smirk
You took away from me my sense of choice

You still came even when I said never
This is for when I sat alone in tears
For the pain that still taints my adult years
And for my dreams left ruined forever

But now, all of those dreams will be remade
With the hefty cheque that the tabloids paid
