In the core of my being,a little girl waits

Frozen in time, frozen in fear

I assure her she's safe, I won't let them near.

There's no trust in her eyes, and the anger is real.

How can I blame her, with all she's been taught?

My arms open wide, Is that a tear that I caught?

Her emotions explode as she beats on my chest

How could they hurt me whem I tried my best!?

No matter how hidden and quiet and good

She couldn't please them; as if she should.

I hold her shaking body close to my heart.

How could they hurt her!? It tears me apart!

Slowly she calms and she lets me come in.

I'm here now I tell her, through thick and through thin.

Now I swear I can see a glimpse of trust in those eyes,

As she reaches for me, and quietly cries.
