the child in my heart

[hidden_scar]

there is a child in my heart
who is hidden in the dark

you opened my heart
found her
and taught her how to love

the girl walks out the door
and now she is revealed to the world

but everytime you had to leave
she discovers loneliness she has never felt before

this part of her is hidden
not even you can reach it
this part that is alone and scared

everytime she sees you
the loneliness fades a little
but it comes right back when you leave

she misses the comfort
she wishes to be protected

but this feeling can only be hidden.
