Allured By Love

She sits down in a chair Afraid of what they’re thinking She should know that they don’t care, but she won’t listen. She picks up a guitar She knows that they’re listening She sings the truth about her life, everything comes to a halt. She has no friends today She looks down at what she’s wearing Her voice will shake, her voice will tremble, why can’t they stop staring? She whispers when she says; I lost a lot of things when I lied, but when you left me standing there, I cried. She walks into a new school Afraid of what they’re thinking She wants them to think she’s cool, first impressions count She picks up her underwear She knows that he’s watching This is what her life has come to, moving way too fast She has lots of friends today Her virginity gone, her innocence gone, her love is a heart covered in frost She whispers when she says; I lot of people like me, all my friends are men, lying when they love me, being with them is not a sin. She’s sitting at her first real date Afraid of what he’s thinking All he’s looking for is sex, but she won’t understand She picks herself up when they’re done She knows he’s watching her leave Now that he’s gotten what he wants, she knows she won’t be back. She has no one at all today She looks down at what she’s done Only sixteen, mother of two, is this the end of all my fun? She whispers when she says; I don’t have a lot of things to give, you don’t even have a dad, but I promise you dears, I’ll give you love, which is more than I ever had….
