eyes
filled with
lost dreams

they love you
is what they said
they’d do anything for you
they said
they love you
and would give their life for you
if they had to
is what they said

they told you
they will protect you
they will do anything to keep you safe
and sound
and happy
they told you
they love you

all they ever wanted,
they told you,
is for you to be fine!

everything they told you
when you were little
well
it turned out to be a lie

they told you, they love you
they told you, they will do everything to keep you happy
to keep you safe
make sure you will have it better than them
it turned out to be a lie

they told you to stand up and walk on
when you fell and cried
they cuddled you, blew away the hurt
and promised all will be fine.
they love you
they told you
more than their own life
they said

they told you your life will be great
if only you work hard enough in school
you will be successful
if only you behave
and be good
they love you
is what they said

they told you,
you have the world to conquer
you can be anything you want to be
you can do anything you want to do

they kept telling you they love you
and they still do

they love you
is what they said

yet, they did everything to make your life
become a place
you are lost in
a place
dangerous

hazardous

you are on your own in this
their love will not cure your lost heart
their love
was a lie

leaving you
in a world
not suitable for
living
they lied about becoming anything you want
struggle ahead
they lied

your dreams have to wait
maybe be buried
postponed
by reality

lost in a world they told you
will be yours to conquer.
they took it
and used it up

they promised you life
and yet,
they used it up

they grabbed future
greedy and careless
assuring you
they love you

love will not help
when the struggle begins

they will be gone
leaving you behind
having taken life with them
their love was a lie

lost
insecure
uncertain
is what you are

your eyes
lost
filled with illusion
but don’t worry
earthchild
your strength will carry you

and there are plenty
lied to
just like you

you might not be fine
but you are
