The Child In Me, Ptsd

I see the eyes of a small lost child Living within my mind Been there so long she's now living wild Hiding from cruel and unkind She looks out from behind my eyes Searching for happy years But they're all gone flown to the skies All's left is heartache and tears I hear the voice of a small lost child Echoing round me now There's no way out, she's far too wild Hush child find sleep somehow Chasing good thoughts so far away For a glimpse to show her fun But the moments are brief, they won't stay Leaving her the lonely one . Tonight will she cry... Tonight will she scream ... Tonight, tonight, perhaps she will dream ... . There's little hope for my small lost child Memories don't go back there She can't be tamed will always be wild So I keep her in my care I see the eyes of a small lost child Living deep in my mind Been there so long she's now living wild Hiding from cruel and unkind . Tonight will she cry ... Tonight will she scream ... Tonight, tonight, perhaps she will dream ... . She's the child in me that should have been But she never was, nor could ever have been Now she's deep inside and will never be seen For she saw what no child should ever have seen . Tonight will she cry ... Tonight will she scream ... Tonight, tonight, perhaps she will dream ...
