Remember Me
Remember me?
Shivering in the corner,
Afraid of your fists and rants
Hoping your mood would swing quickly
Wishing I could run,knowing I can't.
Remember me?
Hiding in my bed at night
Deep under the sheets,not breathing
Praying he won't come for me tonight
Nasty words mixed with rage,seething
Remember me?
Bearing the brunt of your rage
When I told you he touched me there
Innocent,I told you all of it,ashamed
Then you slammed me back in my cage
Remember me?
Running,running as fast as I could
Looking for some sort of safety
I'd find it,I knew,if it only would
Reach out and gently embrace me
Remember me?
Looking down at you,withered and dying
I reach within me to find some love
For this "mother" that left me crying
Finding none,I turn away
When the darkness creeps over you
Ask your God for forgiveness as I can't
Forgive what you've it m through
Rest well sweet Mother and.....
Remember me.
