NOBODY'S CHILD

I find myself sitting here
Looking out in front of me
No one hears that little girl
No one seems to see

She's sitting, hiding away
Her face you cannot see
Her knees pulled tight to her chest
She reminds me of me

A tattered, weary dress
Dirty, no shoed feet
I move closer to her
Beside her is now my seat

I put my arm around her
And offer a warm place to cry
Her little body a sobbing mess
My clothes no longer dry

I gently humm a quiet song
And her body is now silent
I gently rock her back and forth
And hold on tight for a few more moments

I gently stroke her hair
And listen to her sleepy breathing
I close my eyes for a split second
And realise i am the one who is sleeping


NO LOOKING BACK

You made me stronger
But you made me weak
You made me bend over backwards
And you broke me

I gave you everything i had
Every ounch of purity
You took it with no shame
You played with me

You think i need you
You think i wont survive
You think i'll comeing running back
But i've never felt more alive

You picture in the bin
And your face removed from my mind
All gone, A needed goodbye
Me - You'll never find

I made myself a promise
One im going to keep
I even got a message from you
Not a single weep

I told myself that i am strong
I told myself to let go
Im glad it has turned out like this
I never needed you

No Looking Back
Thats what i promised
No looking over my shoulder
I look straight ahead, My feelings for you diminished
Im walking towards my Future
