We hid in the dark
So no one could see
We were husks
So many memories
Unknown
The cost of walking the line
Smokey air
Cheap beer
Hope gone
Unknown world
Out for blood
Evil moves in
For the kill
So scared
Protect me
So angry
Fight for me
Swallowed by
The open arms.
Slowly strangled
By sinking sand
We,
Sought help
From broken beings
Cauterized the pain
With cheap promises
And quick liquor
Small smiles
To mask
The self loathing
So young
We grew
So scared
We fought back
So angry
We forgave
This time
Held our souls
For ransom
Unimaginable pain
I can't breathe
My world...
Is gone
It's slashed
Crushed
Spit upon
I'm so scared
All I see is dark
My heart has stopped
Foundation crumbled
This world
I see
Is pointless
I drank
In hopes
It was all a dream
I needed to be
Silent
Or
Never stop screaming
Nights spent
Laughing through the pain
Days spent hiding
In the grass
Though I know now
I am safe.
Then I was alone
Without end in sight.
If I could go back
Nothing would change
This time,
Healed
A world that hates
Protected me
This time,
Saved me
A home broke me new.
Listen child...
you'll scream
Cry
And die inside
BUT!
You'll be reborn
Become so strong
You'll even come to love yourself.
Listen child,
I know you hurt
That doesn't go away
BUT!
You'll learn
to understand
other's pain
Though this time
Is nothing but
Memories ignored
It will define you
The both of you
Are so strong
Though scared
So beautiful
Though scarred
Listen well children...
You are loved
No matter what you commit
You are mine
To
Love
Protect
To take care of...
Forever,
I promise.
