Lost inside the rubble.
Life brings them to places
they shouldn't have to go.
You say it's just a phase
and time will heal all wounds.
But that couldn't be farther from the truth.
In their faces, I see teardrops flood them.
On their wrists, I see how they escape the pain.
Inside them is a heart they can't explain.
The kids are not okay.
They are longing for everything to change.
Family shouldn't be a fight.
Love is supposed to warm the heart,
not make it as cold as ice.
These kids are hoping for a rescue,
for a life without these chains.
I know you aren't alright,
that you wish for your pain to go away.
For someone to understand where you're going
and where you've been.
A desire for your heart to hold on.
In need of someone to never let go.
