Irony

Behind these walls,

I can be with you.

I can live.

But my family is outraged;

they've become verbally abusive.

Isn't it strange how they can ignore you your whole life,

and yet think they have a say in it?

Fear not, my dear.

I refuse to leave you.

Fear not, my love.

I will soon be near you.

I will leave everything behind

as if I had no past.

Even if my father is cruel.

Even if he wishes to cast me out.

I have no doubts;

I am not afraid anymore.

My sweet, I shall do it all

if it means you never have to fall.

If you are scared too, you know who to call.
