What Does Love Really Mean

Keep your head up Because we need you now Don’t think of the pain For you never know how long you’re going to be around See, there was this girl that was only thirteen And she never really knew what love really means All she ever had was a portrait of some family That she held at night until she cried herself to sleep Every night her mommy was making noise in the other room Her momma seemed to be happy so she thought that was what she’d do Looking for love she was having sex all the time She started with her age but then the older men she’d find But then there was this guy and the devil had his mind She was screaming for her life but no one could hear her cries So the next day they found the body of a teen Another child gone looking for what love really means

Unfortunately, you are right about a lot of kids...they are looking for love in all the wrong places....if they don't get it at home, they will look elsewhere, and often find sorrow ...or worse! Good poem, but on a sad consequence! ...~Carrie ps. thanks for you kind comments!
