Child, come here and feel
my arms around you
Boy, smile because I love you too
My sweet
little angel all soft and new
I'll fend the beasts off as they say
"boo"
ONLY AT KNIFEPOINT would she say these words
I've missed
ONLY FOR FEAR OF HER LIFE woud she try to remove my
past's mist
I ONLY WISH she would've said them gentler
SHE
SOUNDED SO REMOTE; more afraid then tender
I needed contact
and a soft kiss to care but not to survive
And so here I am not
giving a damn and holding up a knife
It's too late for me to
bother for the pleas of others
For when I cried from the darkened
room nobody came; not even HER
