You sit on me when you're hungry,
I can't breathe, falling into the abyss.
A star blanket keeps me warm.
Slipping back into the womb,
Listening for a sing-song dream.
I can't be right about anything,
If I'm wrong about love.
I can turn myself inside out,
You can't wound me when I'm not there.
I can't hear you behind a yard thick wall,
Where a star blanket keeps me warm.

Wrap us all in blankets,
and live as you will.
Alone, as I am, with my wounds.

Innocent, unloved, and pure
was the young fragile heart
barely quivering from within,
longing for someone...anyone
to love her.
Pictures behind closed eyes
I am frightened yet I strain to see
Scarred reminders of my past
Hidden deep within my memory
Who
Broken-Mirror Eyes
Mock me, will you?
Throw back your head with a laugh you don't deserve.
Tell me that I'm all wrong
about things

Dainty treks the narrow path,
Searching for her father's hand,
She had sifted through the sand,
