Just for once...

From hands that fed me as a child,

Now hands scorch my lips.

 

From hands that held mine in laughter,

Now hands press my neck.

 

 Have I changed that much? 

 

She called me dearest once,

Now I am a jinx.

 

She wanted my words in childhood,

Now silence is all she craves.

 

She wanted me to smile always,

Now she doesn\'t even care about my tears.

 

She wanted me, cry when I was hurt so she could comfort me

Now she calls my tears, drama..

 

Have I changed that much?

 

I still search for the warmth once felt, For the brush of your hand,

The soft cradle of your arms.

 

Just for once...

 

Just for once,

Can I lie in your lap, let my tears fall,

And tell you how shattered I am?

How lonely and helpless I feel?

 

Just for once,

Can I be the infant you loved back then?

 

Just for once,

Can I see love in your eyes for me?

 

Just for once, please.

I promise I won\'t ask again....
