deeper

as the world around her crumbles
beauty dancing in her eyes
you could never begin to imagine
all the pain that lies inside

she can charm you into thinking
she's much more than just "alright"
but on the inside, she is trembling
and can't shake the terror of that night

not that healing hasn't come, oh no,
she's faced it and moved on
but even now she finds herself
fearing noises until the dawn

she can wash her sins away
but this one was a stain
left by someone else's iniquities
in her sleeping sanctuary of pain

but as her eyes dance in the moonlight,
her curls resting around her face like a halo,
something is changing. maybe finally, she finds the peace
that passes what her mind can conceive.
maybe finally, she knows that even though there will be days
there will be nights, where she can't shake the pain,
she isn't alone. and He will rock her to sleep. His
hands would never wander, His arms are safe,
His love for her is endless.
maybe finally, it'll all be okay.
