crying old tears for pain i never let myself feel
because yes i finally figured out
how to love the little girl inside of me
but that older girl
the darker one
i held no grace for her
she scared me
and scared as she might have been
i left her to fend for herself all these years
broken though she was
bleeding maybe
i was too busy
and she was too much
poor thing
so much was not her fault
so much was held down tight
locked up inside her self-sufficient heart
poor kid
teenager though you may have been
your heart was way too young to be shattered
your hair still deserved to be gently stroked
and your eyes
they deserved to be looked into
your hands
they should have been held
sweet girl with the hooded eyes
kind heart draped in baggy shirts
you are forgiven
you are Loved
rest in arms that will not harm you
let go of what was never yours to hold
cry for the wrongs you know
let Us untie all the hurt that holds you
loose up all the pain
tears deserve Freedom too
let them run
and i assure you they will be caught
by the lovingest of Hands
