Small Little Child.......

Small little child with her eyes open wide,

Can't understand why it hurts inside.

Poor little girl just stares into space,

Transports herself into another place.

Small little child becomes someone else.

Someone stronger, faster, someone who can yell.

Poor little girl never really gets away,

Just blocks it out, with clouds of blue and gray.



Sad young wife, with her eyes open wide,

Can't understand why it hurts inside.

Poor young woman, just stares into space

The small little child, locked in a hiding place.

Sad young wife has learned to hide her pain.

The others are silenced to make her feel more sane.

Poor young woman can't seem to remember much,

She can't quite afford to feel his loving touch.



Sad young woman, with her eyes open wide,

Can't understand why it hurts inside.

Poor young woman is now all alone.

She can't figure out, how she lost her happy home.

Sad young woman, never really lived,

She could never really trust, she could never really give.

Poor young woman, the small child inside,

The demons, the lost souls, no one ever tried.



The small little child, with the young woman's face,

Her eyes open wide, no longer see this place.

Poor young child, burning in hell,

She could not scream, she could not yell.

The small little child, with the young woman's face,

Took her secrets to the grave, there was no saving grace.

Small little child, with her eyes open wide,

Can't understand why it hurts inside.............
