Can You Hear Me?

20 years I’ve known her, a stranger now

I want to love her, I just don’t know how 

She’s kind, gentle, and warm

There for me through every storm 

I don’t treat her well

Trying to can really feel like hell

But she deserves better, I can’t let her rot 

I try and write her love letters, ones she never got

She’s with me everywhere I go, my soul and spirit  

My inner child, I tell her I love her and I pray to God she can hear it.
