Go the pond
At the end of the lane
Think of the girl
Remember again
Standing inside
The green fairy ring
Nothing can hurt you
Forget everything
Marble of glass
Soldier of tin
Swallow the ocean
Breath it all in
Fight with the monsters
The sheets from your
bed
Nightmares of
grown-ups
Take root in your head
Childhood demons
Tore you apart
Banished, but still
Left a hole in your
heart.
