4am

It's 4am and I lay here silent 
I'm awake, I'm numb and motionless 
Because I know you lay silent as well
For in your heart he made a huge dent

Your childhood was broken 
By the words he yelled and 
The things left unspoken 
The responsibility to love was not one
In which they felt compelled

You are overlooked and out shined
In their dark narrow minds  
Would they turn and run 
As you quietly held your gun? 

In my eyes your image reflects
The years of pain and neglect 
We stole your heart away 
And here with me it shall stay
