My Journey Into Me

My heart it bleeds,
As I relive what I've seen.
It breaks,
As it watches the younger me.
I wish I could go back,
And change my past.
I wish I could save her,
And make it go away.
Instead I hold her,
And cry instead.
Hoping she feels,
The love I give.
It's not your fault,
I whisper in her ear.
This doesn't define you,
I tell her softly.
You're stronger than you will ever know,
I say as I kiss her forehead.
I watch as she gets back up,
And whisper goodbye as I wake.
From the past,
My dreams are made of.
