Deep Hurt

Smiles and a happy heart smothered in joy..
A child lives in the moment..
The age of innocence..
Life untouched ..
Simply magical..
Where dreams come true..

A child grows..
Life no longer untouched..
Why must the magic disappear..
Shattered dreams..
Broken promises..
A wounded heart ..
Bleeding profusely from the pain
Visions of dark skies..
Walking below a dark cloud..

Sweetness of childhood..
Melted into bitterness..
Shed bitter tears ..
An open wound
No healing..
Pain arises within..
Trapped inside there is emptiness..
Running through veins there is deep hurt..

Imagine blue skies..
Golden rays of sunshine..
Walking above the clouds..
No more darkness..
