Guilty

You say the word and I answer
I always answer
But I get nothing in return
You treat me like a slave
Hell, I am your slave
You know it's wrong but you don't care
I know too
They all do.

I've thought about this a long time
And finally decided
What's the point of existing
If only in servitude?
Because I always answer
Always
And you stand by and watch me hurt.

What's your problem, you sadist?
You think I enjoy this?
Well you thought wrong.
I could end this, I know I could
But I'll suffer just long enough
To see you suffer
And then I'll be free
And you won't be able to do anything
Because you'll be trapped.

It starts over
I'm your slave again
Like before, you couldn't care less
I do though
I always have.
You say the word and I answer
But this time you wait
There's no answer
Just silence.

You walk into my room
Nothing
I'm gone
Come find me
You know where to look
Are you afraid?
Of course you are
Afraid you'll find me too late
I'm here, just fine, but not for long.

You find something missing
From your closet
You run to find me but the house is like a maze
Too bad you didn't think ahead
Before I was born
Never thought it'd come to this did you?
Should have been a better father.

You hear a shot
Too close for comfort
The room just down the hall
Never thought I'd be in there did you?

You open the door
Nothing
Everything's the same as you left it
When you killed her
Then you see me hunched against the bed
The blood running down my face
Gun in hand.

You look shocked
What did you expect to find?
Some sort of joke?
But no
It's all the same except for me.

Want to know why I chose this room?
Because you killed her here
Just like you killed me
You know it's true
So do I
And so does she
They all do
But we're happy now
Away from you
She can't help but feel sorry for you
'Poor Lucius,' she says.
I comfort her.

We know you won't be with us when you die
We know you'll kill yourself
Just like you killed us.
Regret it all you want
It won't do any good
But remember, say the word and I'll answer
I'll always answer.
