| Tears From A Stone As the pain rises your heart begins to harden Just a baby, yet you already know there will be no pardon The ability to feel, slowly goes away Locked within stone all the pain must stay I am told that burying feelings is bad for me But tell them to who? I don't want anyone to see ! When others say to share your feelings and trust They don't know what they're asking, it is so hard to trust! Soon this stone invades your soul Being unable to feel now takes it's toll Try not to think of it, do not remember or you cry! There's no one to hug you, they all want you to die! Such a small child, aching to be held Isn't there someone to whom she should meld? They are always so busy, no one cares All she can do is hug her stuffed bears Once in awhile a tear will break through Then this child/woman does not know what to do Stare in the mirror as tears roll down stone The mask remains impassive, no emotion is shown "They can't touch me!" she shouts in glee! Never knowing not feeling would charge such a fee No sense of humor, no warm, fuzzy feeling If intimacy threatens I stare at the ceiling Up above, where I watch but do not take part Unfortunately they can't even touch my heart I must take the good with the bad So I fear all I have left to feel is sad It's almost funny to see tears from a stone She thinks her sin is too dark to ever atone Each time you are dumb and try to trust Your feelings are spit on so hide them I must! When will this child learn that hugs are not there? No one will hug you they don't even care! Why does she continue to talk and to trust? Over and over they judge her, leave her lying in dust. 6/15/98 I was in great pain when I wrote this and was struggling to trust my new therapist and many of my "aspects" inside do not trust easily and this was a way of expressing those feelings. |
