Alone . She sits alone at an abandoned building A confused look upon her face A tattered and torn dress hangs from bone thin shoulders As I wonder what Brings her to this place . I approach her slowly and smile a gentle smile The fear shines dully behind bloodshot eyes The evidence of her past there for all to see Her tortured soul waiting to arise . I ask her if I may help In any way I can She looks at me as if I am Satan incarnated In the form of man . I sit slowly by her side Not trusting my voice to speak She slowly lowers her eyes and speaks lowly With a voice that seems so weak . Why would you help you know me not Or what kind of woman I am You know not the things of my past Why would you be a friend . I have done things that a woman should not For a piece of bread to fill my hunger If you could see the soul inside Would you ask me then? I wonder
I have robbed and lied and laid with men For no more than the price of a bottle I drink away my pain and hurt But in self pity I will not wallow . I am what I am and all I can be No one can change my past I have made the bed in which I now must lay Now each day may be my last . I wasn’t always this way there was a time As a child I was so happy With a loving mother and a providing father I know it sounds so sappy . My parents they passed when I was a teen So to a family member did I go I learned things there about the world No child should ever know . He took my innocence he took my pride He took my childhood away He claimed my body for his own Every night with him I lay . When I was able I ran away To this life that I now lead One man made me who I am And who I will always be . She laid her head upon the ground And made her final stand One more breath and she was gone A small slip of paper fell from her hand . It had her name and date of birth I could not believe what I was seeing This person that I though was old alone Had Just this day turned fifteen . I dried the tears that stained my face And bowed my head in prayer Please lord receive another angel And show her the love that was never there .
