In the quiet of the night, I close my eyes
Escape to a world where truth and love lies
Dreaming comes so easily, my refuge from the pain
My innocence shattered, never to be the same
True love, a fairy tale, a distant, mocking dream
Damaged by cruel hands, torn apart at the seam
Scared and alone, haunted by shame's embrace
Yearning to be understood, seeking a safe place
You can't take back what you've violently taken
I was only but a child, a soul forsaken
I feel you, your presence, a ghostly, haunting chill
Healing comes so painfully, a journey uphill
Damaged, broken, scars etched deep in my soul
Mending needed, a chance to once again feel whole
An ending to this fear, a release from the chains
Forgiveness for the man whose cruelty still remains
I was just a little girl, lost in a world so wrong
Trapped in silence, a voice silenced for so long
But I can't go back, the past forever gone
Left with scars and memories that continue to play on.
