Disconnected

Outside he's loving and playful
Inside he's hurting, stuck in time
I know him better than he does
I felt his rage, a guard dog
Protecting his frightened little boy
But who was protecting her?

Little girl
All she knows
Doesn't feel
Doesn't hurt
When I cry, it sings to her
Deepest fears overwhelming her

Stuff it down, pretend it's not there
While it eats me from the inside
She taught me her ways and now
She's not here, and I spiral
Pretend I'm good so my heart
Doesn't gut me
This is all I know

Where do we go from here?
I want to save them but I'm drowning
So far in my head I've lost my body
Safe to speak, but they're not listening
I could tell the whole world
Watch as nothing changes
Forever bound to be
