The Night That Changed Everything
© Elizabeth Murphy
Wrapped up warm
Safe and sound
Nothing to worry
But being dreamed bound
Sweet dreams came to me
In the peace of the night
But something would happen
That would change my life
I tossed and stirred
Not knowing what was wrong
I opened my eyes
And turned the light on
He was standing there
Looking at me
Not feeling sorry
But looking for forgive me
I was shocked and sickened
By what had been done
But I couldn’t turn back time
Not for this one
A tear ran down
The side of my face
He took off
At a quick pace
I was left there
Sobbing away
He was next door
And was there to stay
I felt like dirt
Like I wanted to die
I couldn't escape
From this evil guy
In the morning
I found a note
It says sorry but I love you
It seemed like a sick joke
My mind started to spin
I felt sick
I put the note in the fire
And made sure I burnt it
A few years have gone by
And here I am
That night is in my mind
But I still stand
I feel so much stronger
Than I have ever before
I’m putting the night behind me
So I can open a new door

Playground, schoolbell rings again. Rainclouds come to play, again. Has no one told you, she's not breathing? Hello, im your mind, giving you someone to talk to, hello.
If i smile and dont believe, soon i know, i'll wake from this dream.
Don't try to fix me, im not broken!
Hello, im the lie living for you, so you can hide, dont cry.....
Suddenly i know, im not sleeping, hello, im still here!
.....all that's left.....of yesterday......
Hey everyone. Just wanted you to know about this song, even if you dont know what its about, somehow it makes you feel sad...... Just look up the song and you will know what i mean.....

Nothing Remains

Innocent eyes and sweet laughter – now vacant and empty
Staring into a dark void
Hot tears on my pillow
Scared to fight
Too young to understand
Cold hands everywhere – holding, touching, hurting
Rape and perversion
Blood – sweat – on my clothes
Hatred – confusion – disgust
Night after night, week after week, year after year
No longer a child – only an object
Silence – no dreams – no sleep
So many missing years
So many forgotten memories
All virtue – goodness – happiness gone
Childhood stolen – innocence murdered
Only pain and sadness remained
The child is gone – the child is dead
Nothing else remains
