find me my faded dreams
and neutered childhood
and restore them to me.
search for my
wide eyed innocence,
my shrinking violet,
and console them.
dig deep for my
buried heart
and its frantic fancies,
and return it.
look hard for my
clouds of tears,
their storms of sorrows
and blow them past.
part my waters
of relentless pain,
and denied chances
and give me love.
please...
