Little Girl Gone
I see a little girl
unlovable to all.
I see an unforgiving world
waiting to see her fall.
I see a little girl
unwanted by most.
I see a tormented mind
with a devilish host.
I see a little girl
who has always been so strong.
I see the demons
who have stolen her life song.
I see a little girl
yearning to belong.
I see the friends and family
who tell her she is wrong.
I see a little girl
with tear stains in her eyes.
I see the people who have beat her down
to the point she can no longer cry.
I see a little girl
though living, has already died a death.
I see the monsters
who have taken her every breath.
I see a little girl
who once knew how to laugh.
I see now that nothing in
heaven or hell could ever bring that back.
I see a little girl
starving for affection.
I see the signs all around her
that this girl is far beyond redemption.
I see a little girl
beaten, bruised, and low.
I see those who say they love her
but who would rather just not know.
I see a little girl
who has lost the ability to hope.
I see the love that has let her down
it is a love that can no longer cope.
I see a little girl
barely hanging on for dear life.
I see the inner anguish and turmoil
that has caused so much unwanted strife.
I see a little girl
who never had a chance.
I can hear the voices in her head
that send her into a trance.
I see a little girl
can you see her too?
That little girl was once me
the one you hated that you knew.
I see a little girl
she is leaving us today.
She thought she would say "I love you"
one last time as she makes her way.
I see a little girl
this girl is no more.
She tried to help you understand
but you could hear no more.
This little girl, we no longer see,
She never wanted to leave.
I sacrificed my very soul
just so you could be free of me.
