Angry words unleashed
I hurt,
cry yourself to sleep, dear one
bleeding, festering wound
pain too deep, death chill,
confusing thoughts torture the mind
cry yourself to sleep, dear one
pain to deep to think,
find your peace.

Words bounce off deaf ears
confusion, pain to deep
thoughtless words drip
from my mouth, inflict the pain
cut and bleed.
Cry yourself to sleep
the night lies heavy around me
my thoughts torture, whirl around my head
endless misery.

Come to me dear one,
cry into my breast, give your cares away
Cry yourself to sleep.
Healing touch, cradle of love, balm.
Cut and bleed, healed.
Words exchanged,
pain unleashed, questions answered

Angry words, I hurt.
bleeding wounded soul, pain too deep.
Can't breathe
comfort lost and found,
cry into my breast, young one
let your bleeding heart heal.
let the pain subside, heart that bleeds
cover your skin, shade your eyes.
Don't look back, don't disguise.
