She didn’t come from the streets
She was born free in the desert heat
A motherless child
She stands close to an edge unseen by most
I see it
I see you
She gives herself away time after time
Looking for something real
Looking for love
Looking for…
Someone
She falls apart
She crawls home
She doesn’t think anyone cares
She doesn’t think anyone understands
I care
Give me the chance to understand
She walks like a phantom from day to day
Praying it ends
It doesn’t end
Nothing started ever really ends
Broken and afraid
She feels she’s beyond repair
Too damaged to find lov…
Someone
It’s hard to see when your eyes are cold and sad
Streaming black with mascara
Her knees buckle
“When will someone pick me up?” she asks herself screaming
She doesn’t see my hand
So she stays
Down
She stands alone in the moonlight
Tidal waves of emotions flood her soul as she steps back to the unseen edge
Wake up
The rain and thunder in her head start to fall silent
While the motherless child opens her eyes
New eyes under a full moon
Standing with her heart an open wound
I use my heart to bandage hers
I help her rise
Given new wings she takes flight
She kisses the souls of countless sunsets
While together we witness her first sunrise over an ocean of true possibilities
The kitten becomes a lioness
Fear has no place in her heart
As the motherless child becomes a mother herself
She walks alone in silence knowing she isn’t really alone
Anymore
