~~

A child.
Her eyes
Such a sad little smile

Little boy,
Your arm!
Why do you cry?

There's no-one to hold you
Nobody who'll sing your lullaby

It's too late to show you
You don't always have to feel that inside

Little one,
I feel
You are hurting
Trying to nurse your broken heart

But just remember to dream
Just know that one day,
You won't have to feel.
