the children cry in the night
looking, searching for something lost
their silent screams heard only by me
wanting protection, for invisible hurts
wanting safety from the pain
wanting to be loved without pain
wondering where everything went wrong
why are they here
wondering why i cant save them
wondering why they cant save me
i hear their screams
i watch them cry
i sense there pain
i want so much to help and know i cant
searching for what has been lost
never to be found again
i see them stare blankly ahead
looking at nothing but still seeing everything
seeing nothing new
leaving in the past, watching their dreams
tears slowly stop coming so fast
never to be seen again
locked away in their own world
held forever, trapped in there mind
the children cry in the night
my children cry in the night
my family, the parts of me
that come and go as they please
only to forever
cry in the night
