There's a Girl

[AfternoonDelight]

THERE’S A GIRL

There’s a girl in the corner
Who says I should join her
In musing the meanings of life
She sits all alone
With a dullness of tone
Betraying her trouble and strife

There’s a girl in her bed
With a feeling of dread
Wiping a tear from her eye
She pulls up the cover
And prays to a mother
Who never replied to her cries

There’s a girl on the moon
Who wonders how soon
Things will start going her way
She takes medication
With some dedication
To while away each passing day

With a scar to remind her
Deep down inside her
Of the places and people she’s been
She bears no regret
And tries to forget
The torment of faces unseen

There’s a girl inside me
That no-one can see
Waiting for life to appear
She sits in the rain
And nurses her pain
Musing on memories so dear

There’s a girl sitting here
Without doubt or fear
With feelings like icicles, frozen
Too late for the truth
She lets go her youth
To follow the path she has chosen
