In An Empty Room

[Rape I - The Victim]

Here you sit innocent, your beautiful face

Everything all at once taken away

Even though not everything can be replaced

Yesterday's gone and you still have today

I can see you

Hiding behind broken eyes

It'll be fine please don't cry

You will be OK with me

I can see you, living inside scared and blind

I am right here please don't hide

Close your eyes my child

To rid your mind of all the hurt

And turn gray skies blue

I'd wash away the memory

And make your heart new

No comfort in these clumsy words

No solace no truth

Just to exchange one life for pain

And I'd give mine for you

Oh how time went by - you and I

Used to live that life - that made us smile

I know right now that you don't want me here

Soon the stain will fade -

I'll wipe away your tears

'Cause without you in my life

It just does not seem right

I'll wait right by your side 'til you come home

I can see my presence

Is dragging us apart

It's hard to be so closed off

From you in my heart

Flesh and blood

Can heal and hurt

Time will take away the pain

I'll back away

Give you space

Until you feel no shame
