“Why”

Why do they hurt me?

Why can’t they see

Alone is where I want to be.

No more attention in the dark

They sense the fear and attack like sharks

Please leave me along in the dark

I see them hovering over me

Or is it the little girl I see

    We are not together like we would like to be

They tore us apart

They separated our heart

We will rejoin and begin a new start

Time heals all wounds so they say

We want to dance

We want to play

Now they can’t hurt me

Now they can see

That here alone I’ll never be
