A child sweet and innocent.
Walking in my steps far behind.
I see his smile, but ignore him.
He seemed to be such a friend.
laughing and playing behind my path.
The road grows harder.
The child laugh becomes stronger.
I stumble, he smiles.
His jeers cut me.
On I go, forgetting his torment behind.
Head held high, I walk on.
I make it through, but fall.
The child catches up.
All I've ignored.
All I've pretended.
All I've shown,
Comes crashing in my soul.
Pain fills my heart,
When I open my eyes,
I see a figure unrecognizable.
I reach for help,
For a healing salve.
It's not until the picture is clear,
As I ached, I was healed.
As I reached, I was taken.
As I wished, I was loved.
Walking in my steps far behind.
I see his smile, but ignore him.
He seemed to be such a friend.
