Little One

Speaking to my younger self and to all those who can relate

Come little one, come hold my hand

I know you feel you'll drown in quicksand

This was not really the path you'd planned

But hold my hand, together we'll stand

Little one, I know you feel afraid

For many times you've been betrayed

Many times upon you they have preyed

I'll be your strength, if yours does fade

Little one, stand close to me

I know there's many fears you see

For you have been hurt badly

Please don't flee, come stand close to me

Little one, I see that tear, 

Trailing down your face, it's left a smear

It says more than words will ever hear

I know the pain was oh so severe

Little one, I heard you cry

You thought the end was nigh

That you'd have to say goodbye

You thought no one would reply

I heard your hearts cry

My eye was not dry

Please know I am your ally

For you i would even die

Little one, I know you're afraid

I am here, I am here to aid

Please know the price I paid

You are now mine, for me you were made

Little one, lay your head on my chest,

For its here you will find some rest

Even though your whole life feels messed,

Please let me take your unrest

Little one, come stand in the light,

I know you're afraid of the night

I know things happened that you couldn't fight

come stand with me, it's going to be alright

This is now, that was then

I know your afraid of monsters and men

It's ok, it's not going to happen again

This is now a safe glen

Kind and gentle words. I like the softness of the description and offer of safe place to rest.
"This is now, that was then

I love the attachment you made me feel to this. It really provoked tone and mood. I also like the structure, it flows nicely.
and just a 'by the way' thing, in line 24 of 21-24 you didn't capitalize the "I"
" I heard your hearts cry
My eye was not dry
Please know I am your ally
For you i would even die"

Hope I helped :)
