Polluted
Those summer days
Seem so distant now
Since innocence was polluted
No devil in appearance
A sinister chameleon
Everyone’s favourite uncle
A jovial soul
Yet the darkness behind the smile
Was always there
Could be smelled in his sewer breath
Tainted bloodlines
The poisonous heart
Of a deceptive corrupter
Tasting tears of the young ones
Under the façade of comforting
The bitter cold of your touch
Burning pain
The dirty guilty secret
That was forced in reality
Gave little respite in the nightmares to come
Seem so distant now

Of a deceptive corrupter
Tasting tears of the young ones
Under the façade of comforting
The bitter cold of your touch
Burning pain
The dirty guilty secret
That was forced in reality
Gave little respite in the nightmares to come

reflects an all-too-often scenario
i think most of us can identify a certain person within family ties who struck us as 'creepy', a bit too touchy-feely, often finding out only later on about other kids in the family being abused by them.
