Where are you?

I am afraid.

I cry out,

But you don't come.

Why not?

You always have.

Where are you?

I am hurt,

I am afraid.

Can't you hear me?

I am crying,

Can't you feel it?

You said,

That monsters weren't real,

But I have seen them.

You said,

That nightmares,

Didn't come true,

But mine do.

You said,

I didn't have to be afraid,

That you would protect me,

But I am.

And you're not here.

Where are you?

Why haven't you come?

I am crying.

Mommy?

I am afraid,

Where are you?
