Child Inside

I hear you, but you don’t see me, you don’t know why it hurts so badly                      He loved you; at least you thought he did Touching you in ways he knew Violating your innocence with every breath he stole, holding the secrets inside Without a sound, I feel your pain; taste the bitterness he left behind Feeling the strength down deep within he tried to drain Your fight never left but your heart has grown scared to love Stolen love, emptiness, lost forever so you say Your soul angry, scattered millions of feelings captive Split, introverted, masking the many people you’re forced to become Hurt, used for man’s pleasure, torn inside out Ripping your heart from your body And he loved you; at least you thought he did I hear you, whispering prayers of hate; you don’t see me I am with you every time you breathe, whenever you’re scared to feel When you hear footsteps down the hall I am what you refuse to show, will never admit to being The space between awake and dream is where I hide The darkness, the uncontrolled tainted love, the tiniest hint of tears and fear What hurts so badly is the lonely child silently insideI wrote this for my best friend, Girl your courage and heart is unbelieveable. I love you. :) Written February 2nd, 2001 © on Mar 16 2002 09:01 AM PST   0 • 1
