Everything
By: Cheyenne Taylor Age: 12 Issued: June 17, 2003

I thought I'd finally escaped
There was too much that I hadn't erased
Why did you come back
I thought all your bags were packed
I've hurt too much
Why won't you leave me alone
I have not recovered
The pain is still there
There's too much that I still have here
When I cried you made everything worse
When I screamed you stood there and left your curse
When you let go I thought that it was for good
But you still have everything
I used to be killed by you
By your piercing eyes
But now I'm stuck to all you left behind
Your face returned into the head that you once lived in
Your first visit drove every ounce of sanity from my blood
I have not recovered
The pain is still here
There's too much that I still have here
When I cried you made everything worse
When I screamed you stood there and left your curse
When you let go I thought it was for good
But you still have everything
I've tried to get you to take me from your world
And though I've been here all along
I didn't realize you'd been there
When I cried you made everything worse
When I screamed you stood there and left your curse
When you let go I thought it was for good
But you still have everything
