At first I weep
Finally awoken
the light flickers brightly
Seeing for the first time
through the eyes of her elder
I'd waited for what seemed an eternity
for my inner child to reach out to me
At first I weep
for the longing is over and finally
after all these years
I can set her free
She is now sleeping
the deepest since before I left her
Abandoned her
Before I pushed her behind my pain and trapped her
tied up and gagged her
My ears muffled with a loudness
That I set to the highest level
I didn't want to hear her cries
I thought I was protecting her
From the pain I had predicted
Ahead for me
I had seen my future
There was no love that awaited me
I was thirteen years old
What could I have known
Now we have spoken
And embraced
Forgiven my crime to her
I can see
That if I'd let her inside me
Listened to her heart
Along time ago
I could have been free
