A piece of me lies weeping on the floor
Crying out for help
But no one hears

Give me back my love
Give me back my lover
Give me back my family
My father and my mother

Give me back the butterflies
That danced when he held my hand
And brushed his fingers softly on my cheek

Give me back the joy I felt
Running through the grass
Feeling the suns warmth upon my skin

Give me back the mornings I would
Feel awake and alive

Give me back the feelings
Of anything other than
Empty
Alone
Afraid
Unsure
Uneasy
And unwelcome in my own skin

Give me back my home

Please
Give it back
