Hold her in the light
Jul 28, 2022
When she let you in
She let you close
Just to get her fingers burnt
You lied and held her in silence
Afraid to speak a truth
As she battled with demons
Berated by you — beaten down
Words of simple hate
A trusting heart as hers
Beating rhythmless
Naming you all
A task too hard to fulfill
Pain too deep
Don’t make her let you in
Just to burn her fingers
Giver her a trust
And hold her in the light
