Hide and seek See her sitting Alone in the dark Little girl locked away Deep deep down. Closed her eyes so long ago Searching through the darkness Lost all signs of life. Hide and seek played so long ago She counted and waited for so long Always having faith Faith in the people who left her for so long Eyes shinging birght in the darkness Where there used to be hope there is now only tears. Tearing away at her clothes Clawing at the walls that hold her in beating the chains means beating herself Digging at the scars she can't see Whispering lonely words of comfort Rocking oh so slowly like the wind Whispering that they'll come Cradeling the old rag doll Ripped and stained with her blood Eyes pulled out like her owner As she rocks she feels different Time is passing like real time Rain drops fall instead of tears Slowly she opens one eye and sees the mess of her life While she was waiting for the the world kept on turning No one came to look So she laughs Not the innocent laugh of the child playing hide and seek. Now a bitter laugh to whisper to her tears A cold laugh that catches in her throat And still she waits.
