Patience Worth

In efforts to give closure to an old ghost
So you've returned to lengthen my shadow
To once again shatter my windows
What a child will feel
When the home is hell
Hands loom and fall
Waiting for the pen to move

With arms too wide to hold just one
Too small to heal the world
Go on (leaves me alone)

Were it but words that called me home
Relayed the dream that beckoned you beyond
Every injured soul
Needs a silent hand to hold
Someone to break
Pleading for the heart to hate

Hell is an empty house haunted by a child's voice
