Let Me In So I Can See

Her emotions drowned away by the end of the bottle

The blaring of the music is her acoustic coddle

Why is she running?

Where is she running to?

Aren’t I enough for you?

//

For you to forget the pain

That you numb away

When your jaw is done for the day

//

I love you, Mom

Can you hear that?

What can I do to bring you back?

Who are those inner demons?

Were you beaten, stopped from dreamin’, some other reason?

//

Let me in so I can see

What is the pain you wish to free

From which you run so desperately

So I can be there for you and you for me

So you no longer hurt me

And we can finally BOTH be free
