One child
Overheard in a dream...

I get so tired of being misunderstood
and having no voice to explain...

I own a large collection of maps
of where my heart has crashed and burned...

Mummy cried herself to sleep last night
as she lay sobbing on the couch...

I look into your dark brown eyes
gazing into mine as you pick me up...

Black eye, swollen cheek,
just another reminder...

And just like that, he was gone in the night,
leaving empty sheets to lay upon a cold...

I love you my friend
i truly do...

...

I was looking at your photo tonight
wondering so much about you...

I don't know where I will begin
Guess I shouldn't of let you in...

Softly weeping rivers of sadness
as they grow wider on my cheeks...
