Inner Child
There’s and inner me trying to get out, the one who sees no wrong and is lied to
The times that pass the memories on the wall, no mentions of tomorrow
I saw the night and dreamt of a day, now alone I sit with the child I became
An inner me you know, not to mention the outer hatred of who I am
I have become a man with soul not here, and a mind that travels far to another
There was you once, a calm collect child, a dreamer of sorts of who we could be
Where did you go? Have you left the side of the one you care for? Are you really gone?
No trace of a struggle, no note saying you’re leaving, just an empty spot in my heart
I have not heard words so cruel as to hear the emptiness of such a loud goodbye
No longer to embrace the arms of one so warm to the touch, a cold hand now caresses me
I have hate in my heart once again, a man to walk these lives we live on a journey
A travel to be taken long and disturbed of memories, nothing more than a death waiting
I head to the end of my days to find the beginning of yesterday, a repeat of a true love
Never was there such a night, not one minute of dissatisfied emotions, we truly loved
You held me as I held you, in arms so full of reality we never dreamt what could be
I have a child now, born out of love and living out of disgust, a man to be feared
He has no real care for this world; he seeks to find his lost and loved one
Never to have met her he cries tears of empty shells, no desires within his soul
This my child is the world, the way we live and the only true way to die is to love
No one cares for you as I have, and no one will hate you for you bring truth in spirit
Look to me and you shall see, the face a woman is not to turn away from, a fear of reality
You know where you belong, you know t he destiny that awaits, see now your not wanted
For you have taken away the only love known, this child no longer has a need for you
He walks and stands alone, feeds his desires, and faces the world to conquer all that come
No is this world, he sees where he goes and will be there at the end a child born again.
