She just wanted her to graduate
do what she could never do
she regreated dropping out everyday
she didnt want that same regret for you

when she died you couldnt take it
why didnt God take your life
you decided to grant her last wish and go to college that night

but while you where there
you met a dashing young man
he promised you the world
at the flick of his hand

and you  feel for his trap
left school with 2 more years to go
only if you would of known

after 2 years he got violent
hit you for the first time
all you said in your mind was lies
then you realized what this was
you called the police
and to this day your baby girl
wonders why you took away her daddy

Today, you asked me why I only capitalize the L in love whenever I write it for you. Every other letter has to be lowercase because my love for you deserves to be a proper noun at least.
Last week, you asked why I want to stay with you forever. I just told you how there was no one who taught me how to value myself besides you.
In the future, you will probably ask why I almost always hold my necklace when I kiss you. I will explain that I have to have my hand by my heart in case it tries to go to its rightful owner.

how do you help someone
who doesn't know they're hurt?

Can I look into your eyes I want to see the stars,
Trapped behind hate untill she broke those bars,
I could roast marshmallows with the warmth in her heart,
I could tell you of her beauty but I wouldn't know where to start,
Words don't exist that could explain her love,
But I'd sing them to the heaven's if there was,
Perfection In a soul is who she is in a sentence,
Between her and an angel I could never tell the difference.
