It's Over Now...

What's the matter my child
Is it broken?
Where are your pieces
Is that them laying all over the floor?

All the mirrors in your house
Turned to face the other way
You can come down now
From your little room, open the door

Stop for a moment
Dancing with the storms
They will have you for eternity
If you let them get their will

But I want you to sit down with me
The night is as young 
As your heart struggles to be
Lets talk until

Your pain and frustration
Abandoned
Are left free
To cry out in sheer agony and reign

This is your island of tears
Here to place single handedly
Like beautiful roses
For each and every hurt that has caused you pain

Place them in their folder
Mark as case closed
And run your fingers
Over their last stand

Then my child
Breathe the deepest breath
You have ever taken in your life
And take hold of my hand...

Its over now....
