Little
Little one, I feel your tiny heart break. The need to fit in. An un fitted jigsaw piece in
an already finished puzzle. You cry yourself to sleep and just wait for the world to
end. You anticipate for your fragile heart to mend. . If only it was that easy.
Little one, I feel your tiny arms reach. Grab on to something that isn't there. You
want to know what love is. How that simple emotion feels. Embracing a figment
of a day dream. Lamenting the person who was nothing more than a vapor. . If
only anyone else knew.
Little one, you pretend you're happy. Smiling little girl who is falling apart. Facial
make-up only you can see. Foundation to keep your tears from breaking free. It
hurts too much to tell the truth. That you've given up hope. .If only you knew that it
was this easy.
---(---Little one, I'll carry you across the coals. Make it so your little feet never touch
the ground. You won't feel anything. Peace and serenity. Just lay down and close
your eyes. Dream of a happy place. Make believe. Forget the things you've seen.
No, don't worry. This doesn't hurt. Just close your eyes and hush your crying.
Dream of lullabies and innocence. . If you only knew that nothing worth this pain
is easy.---)---
