Five Women *** He's here I know that he's close And when He finds me balled up Under The stairs or in my Room he'll Hurt me and hit me And then When he's done he'll have His time And no matter what I do Or no matter how I scream I just can't break free >From those Two strong steely hands Like ice They bruise and scar me Hurting But nothing hurts like Knowing No matter how I beg No matter how loud I scream No one will ever Hear me. *** So I'm small, big deal. For me, my love is real. You think size matters, And that I'm too young to care. You don't see the love That I hide, that I would share. All you see is this Tiny child you call friend. Please tell me, really, Is that all I am to you? *** I live in a prison The walls surround my very heart I put them there before You came into my desperate life. Now I can't seem to free My emotions, but I want to And I want you to know That no matter what I may do, Or how coldly I act, I really do care about you, My one and only love. I know you are close, I can feel you watching me, Yet you make no sound. Shall I wait here forever? You come to me, I Feel my body tense with joy. I see my beauty In your stare as I come close To you my only love. You take my hand, and As we glide across the floor, Dancing to a song That my heart has sung thousands Of times in the dark, I know that you will call me Friend, but for right now, For this one moment in time, Hold me in your arms, And let me dream just a little longer. *** While you were with her, I quietly slipped away. Too hurt to cry out That I was the one who cared But you were too blind To see. I cried for hours, An eternity of pain That was building up And that I couldn't hold back Because you're with Her. And Her isn't me. *** You're so small in my arms Little one, funny face, How did we live before You came into our lives? I hold you close to me, And sing a lullaby My mother sang to me And I pretend briefly That you are my daughter, And for one small moment, I imagine that you Think that I'm your mommy. *** Notes: This was updated for one reason; the poem that was used to finish this was never meant to be attached. That was part of a parody called 'When Giddions Attack' as requested by the 8th floor Giddions in my hall (no joke. They were pretty happy with it, too). I never meant for it to be attached to these poems. Gomen. ^^;; Tenchi & Co. belong to AiC and Pioneer. All C&C to BGlanders@aol.com, please
