My virgin soul

This pain I felt

Arrived when I abandoned hope

And said goodbye slowly

To the truth of myself

Shutting the shades around

Realities I felt so deeply within my heart

Choosing to remain silent

Or sacrifice my self to belong

To those who could never see me

And so now that I have found the light

And also shed all of these tears

For the young girl full of insecurity and fear

Who never learned the ways of self value

Or self protection

I see the truth of what happened to my soul

And it seems to me that my awakening

Was of the slow variety

Tear by tear that I shed

A deeper message was revealed

Rubbed clear of what confusion concealed

Before

A truth I lost the way to

For years and years and years

But when you gave me this

A place to open the pain

Fold upon fold

Then it was I finally began

To build my home

And find the truth

So long ago buried

Down so deep inside my soul

Yes my love

Then it was that I finally came home

To the hallowed hollowed out depths

Ripe for replanting

The discarded seeds

Of my virgin soul
