i cannot read
i do not know what they say
but i feel them burning
a purpose
a meaning
hidden behind closed doors
where only i can see
my memory is like the fading sun
but still remember where i once begun
while im fading into yesterdays
i lose myself in visions
of better possibilities
the words you said
are still shards of glass in my chest
and the emptiness in my bones
still holds a place
for the words i needed to hear
a little girl is trapped inside my body
small hands that had never touched perversity
young eyes that had never seen desolation
tiny feet that used to walk on water
i was never good enough for you
so i will be good enough for someone else
she does everything i do
she feels everything i feel
like the foreign hands searching for comfort
i am your daydream
you are my nightmare
they are never satisfyed
i am your heaven you are my hell
how did i come to this place
i never wanted this
the protection i never had
laughs at me from outside my cage
the love i never received
watches me cringe in the arms of a stranger
