Radio blarring
Reverbating within the halls
Of my very being
Thoughts racing
A marathon
Clinging onto blood stained memories
Looking within the eyes
Of that little girl
Rocking back and forth
In the arms of the angel
Comforting the pain
How is it
That when someone calls out my name
I feel tainted
Like I'm still that little girl
Who did something wrong
Guilt and remorse
Gnaws at me
Always afraid
No one will love me again
Or want to come near me
Only to walk all over the broken dreams
That shattered after the hundredth time
Someone walked out that revolving door
After speaking their empty promises
And you wonder why
I'm bitter and cynical
I'm tired of these tears
But it's like I'm sadistic or something
Because I'm so used to it
I'm afraid
So scared
That if I ever let
Another one in
He's going to be disguisted
By that little girl in the corner
Of my mind
Cowering from the past
From the abuse
That always seems to last
Crashing and burning
Outta control
Always a contradiction
When I'm longing just to get close
Hoping...
But doubting I'll ever find a faerie tale ending
To this Cinderella story...



If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Kris:

sadly no one has a fairytale ending
I do know this pain
this loss
that small child searching
for an answer

you will be loved - and are
trust and have faith in you
when you feel that the dark is closing in
Is really all we have left in the end:
ourselves and the faith that there has
just got to be something better . . .

amazing bleed here lady . . .
xxoo
