Hiding in the shadows fearing the light
hearing the voices calling her to fight.
Dont run away this is where you stay
The streets of poverty and despair
girl look at what you wear.
50 bucks here 20 bucks there
Drugs in your system
How did this begin?
A hand extends to help her repent
His bright light shining
Could she begin again?
She starts her life over
on him she depends.
Watching, waiting
Seeing everything but the things she most wanted to see.
Life continued in her wake
Recieving the gifts he bestows upon her with grace yet
still remains bereft for the things she longs for the most.
Filled with an aching inner turmoil
showing no signs outside herself
she lived her life
Fearing she would lose
what she never had before
she screamed his name into the darkness
within which she had fled.
Please find me again!
Praying to see her light again
his face
she knew this sadness and pain would linger
till he welcomed her into his arms once more
Timidly stepping within his warm embrace
fearing a trick, a trial, a fake face
he bestows upon her the gift of forgiveness
and she swears to betray him no more
The darkness is gone forever more
Her heart falters weakly with every step she takes
towards his light and she now knows that losing him
would damage her irrevocably
mind heart and soul
------
Tears cloud her eyes
she falls down
down down down
to the ground again
The streets are calling her once more
please dont let her fall for its lure
The mistakes she has made
she repents
Please she prays
Dont stop loving me.
-----
As she sits
quite alone.
She wishes only
for a solid home.
Her lover awaits
with open arms.
Into those gates
such lovely charms.
She grows
and changes.
Age
it has caught her,
At last.
