The Pain Rose
open my tired eyes
to the neon-bright light
my heart beats faintly --
the pain rose with the sun.
to the neon-bright light
my heart beats faintly --
the pain rose with the sun.
a little girl in a yellow dress
walks sadly through my mind
she is alone -- alone --
alone and empty and wanting
I am that little girl.
I know her pain.
I know that what was taken
from her was precious.
she is precious.
lost and alone and tired and empty
I walk with her
and the leaves fall like my tears
and the pain rises with the sun.
