CHILDHOODS END

Shadows dancing on my bedroom walls

Like butterflies

Kind-hearted whispers mother’s love

Goodnight, kiss

There is something no one knows

Something deep inside

Once the whispers leave this place

I close my eyes

I’m here all alone

Don’t let him touch me

I can not escape

He’s come to hurt me

Wildly dreaming under cosy sheets

Journeys to foreign lands

Riding wings of fantasy

Like childhood never ends

These dreams have left by now

I feel he’s coming again

Mother’s left us for a while

Is she so blind?

Why me?

Mama, please come back home to me

Just let me be a child

It’s not my fault
