no one's child
this is where my memories are....
where I used to run and play....
be a child...if only for a while....
where, at night, I'd often pray....
this is where my nightmares are....
where I cried myself to sleep....
when the darkness brought the terror....
the stairs...footsteps...shadows...creep....
this is where my life ended....
where I ceased to be just me....
when someone else took over....
where tears flowed easily....
this is where I don't remember....
a mother's gentle touch....
where there was no hand to hold....
no happiness...no love..........
where I used to run and play....
be a child...if only for a while....
where, at night, I'd often pray....
this is where my nightmares are....
where I cried myself to sleep....
when the darkness brought the terror....
the stairs...footsteps...shadows...creep....
this is where my life ended....
where I ceased to be just me....
when someone else took over....
where tears flowed easily....
this is where I don't remember....
a mother's gentle touch....
where there was no hand to hold....
no happiness...no love..........
