My heart broke as i heard my mother cry herself to sleep and i so afraid .... Hid under the covers but i couldn't possibly hide from the endless pain i felt ... My innocence shattered .... I tried to shut out the screams ... Still Too young To understand why they couldn't just stop .... All i yearned for was for some peace .... while seeing love ... Soft ...sweet ... Tender love .. So
I promised myself i would not follow their path
I would love so very passionately ... falling hopelessly in love .. With trust ...respect ... Gentleness ...
Sweet kisses instead of constant pain ..... But as i close my eyes i can still remember when i didnt quite recognize daddy ... The fear he caused and now
It's so difficultΒ Β to open the doors of my heart ...to allow someone into my life ... What if he just wants to hurt me like daddy did .... I forgive him .... For i love him .. My father he will always be
I have to .... I need to so i can allow myself to be loved ... So i can set free ... I want to love like no other ever has ..... I know i can ... I have so much love to give ... So much happiness to finally feel ...
Of course i grew up with my parents fighting constantly .. Some violence .. But i can't say i had the worst childhood however it did change my path in life .. now i finally want to face my fears ...
