*Once upon a time I had a heart of gold....
Then one day
The day that door swung open
All of a sudden
Reaching inside
love was stolen...
Insert
a slow disseminating of cracking stone
Spreading intensely to each and every fiber
of my once content
once in love
once living, breathing soul...
Now I sit only enduring...
Fake smiles for my children's eyes
watching them,
They're unknowing...
Lives,
without understanding
Growing up too fast
Watching us,
without trust
without love*

Now I sit only enduring...
Fake smiles for my children's eyes

They're unknowing...
Lives,
without understanding
Growing up too fast
Watching us,
without trust
without love*
