I have a heart that is locked,
but I cannot find the key...

Broken promises,
empty white lies...

It's not that I don't long for you,
it's not like I didn't care...

It started out
so sweet, simple, and true...

Dear Daddy,
I know life takes us...

I know that I have you,
and that you are mine...

I know that you are sorry,
you've said it a hundred times...

~*~ I work with children with Autism. Most People...
I am just a small face...

Permanent,
Always etched deeply in my soul...

I never imagined
you could hurt me like this...

How can you say
you love me...

So many times I have tried
to hold to something...
