I see a child with fear in her eyes;
ashamed of herself, of her silent cries
Longing for love and care she can keep
instead of being lonely in the dark as she weeps
I see a darling girl who deserves to be loved
I feel her heart so beautiful; pure as a dove
The tears in her eyes have stopped coming down
for she fears she'll never stop, that she'll only drown
The fear within her sweet eyes is too much to bear,
when all this little girl needs is some sweet, loving care
Someone to hold her hand until she can sleep at night,
someone who answers her calls and helps her to fight
The monsters from her nightmares sneering at her,
causes her to shrink away as her vision blurs
And I see so much more in her than what they say she is
There is so much wrong in the past; in all of this
I watch her caged up inside a tattered soul
to keep herself protected from being swallowed whole
by the darkness of her nightmares that bring insanity
and shuts out all the light from her eyes eternally
Don't be afraid, darling, because I'm here to hold your hand
Let me bring you past the monsters to a peaceful land
I will never let you go, I'll not abandon you,
even though I can't help those who already do
Know that you are no longer alone in the darkness of the night
I know they've said, "I'll be there," and given up the fight
But honey, I will promise you this for eternity
As long as you want me here, I will help you to be free
You can fly like any other, you don't need to hide
Take my hand, and always know, in me, you can confide
I will never hurt you, sweetheart, I will always care
You are not their toy anymore for them to rip and tear

Thank you for your kind words.

thorn this is truly beautiful. i would say this is a tremendous representation of the wonderful person that you are.
i realize what it is to shun oneself from the light, from the hand of love and empathy reaching out. i only hope that at the very least, she does know that you are always there, and she can, as cautiously as she needs to, begin to see that light, and touch that hand. and i hope she knows that she has fortune amidst the emotional famine. beautiful work from a beautiful person for what i am inclined to believe must be someone just as beautiful. -
Oh... goodness. This is absolutely beautiful. Wonderfully penned, I can picture this in my mind... this is just... wow... I'm awestricken....
