Oh yes you know
I lost my child a while ago.
No, no please...don't look away
and change the subject
it's ok.
You see at first I couldn't feel
It took so long...but now it's real.
I hurt so much inside you see
I need to talk
Come sit with me?
You see,
I was numb for so very long
And people said,
"My she is so strong"
They did not know I couldn't feel
My broken heart made it all unreal.
but then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest,
Began to choke,
Such a scream,
Such a wail,
Broke from me....
My child!
My child!
The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on, you see,
except for me.
Now when I need friends most of all,
Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bare,
When I mention my child
I see their blank stare.
"But I thought you were over it"
Their eyes seem to say -
No, no
I cannot listen to this, not today
So I smile and pretend...and say...
"Oh, I'm ok"
But inside I am crying
as I turn away.
And so my old friend,
I shall paint on that smile
As I have from the start.
You never knowing all the while
All I've said to you in my heart.
