And I Cry
Written June 25, 2013

Past what is seen on the surface
Inside of me
Lives a little girl

She's scared of the dark
Scared of what he'll do
What they will say

This little girl cries a lot
As she burrows deep
Until all is hidden under sheets

This little girl comes out to play
When I'm scared and I remember
And cry and cry and cry

A voice calls softly to me
Jennifer. Jennifer. Jennifer.
And I feel such warmth

It's okay the voice says
And gentle words are sung over me
And I cry and I cry and I cry

I will collect your tears, My child
It's okay to cry
It's where the healing begins

And I cry and I cry and I cry
Slowly the tears ebb and the voice whispers
It's okay, My child, for I have always loved you
