The little girl

By AnotherWitheredRose

You asked me about the little girl…

The little girl is lost
Lost among the trees
She's buried there
Below the fallen leaves
All she wants to do is play
But you tell her she must stay…
Hidden and concealed

(Beneath the maples remembering fables)
She waits so patiently


You asked me about the little girl…

The little girl is lost
Lost among the breeze
She's whispering to you
All you've ever dreamed
All she wants to do is try
To make you feel more alive
But you tell her she must stay…
Broken and empty


You asked me about the little girl…

The little girl is lost
Lost among the times
Tucked behind the years
You tried to leave behind
All she wants to do is cry
But you tell her she must stay…
Smiling and controlled


You asked me about the little girl…

The little girl is lost
-Lost among me-
I buried her amidst many memories
All she wants to do is scream
But I tell her she must stay
Quiet and deceived

(Confusing her thoughts with what I've taught)

- Though she waits less patiently-



The little girl is lost…
Buried,
Whispering dreams,
Tucked behind
Memories…


Losing myself, losing you
But it is what I have to choose


Well the little girl got pissed
She took the razors to my wrists
She wanted to be free
-From me ignoring her-


The little girl is leaving...

Leaving me today
I see her like a ghost
As she waves and fades away



My fingertips were tingling
My hands fast asleep
I never knew pain to be so deep


So when you asked me about the little girl…

*With a shutter and a sigh*

Well, the little girl inside has died
And I want her back I've changed my mind
