She is 13 today.  She expected to be loved and celebrated.
Instead she walks the windy streets in a stolen white dress.
There are no caring parents.  
Father in prison for attempted ****** of her mother.  
All witnessed by her little brother.  Her father was also a ****** sadist who cut her up and made her a mess from age 3 on up.(.right here i will confess.)  
Her mother forgave her father but blamed her.  Her mother still blames her forever more for her lack of pureness.  
Despite naming her daughter the word for PURE.
The girl in the long white stolen dress walks alone.  
There is no place to go to, no home.  
She has been on the streets now for two years.
Living on roof tops, cleaning bars after hours for recycling cans of half drank beers.  
She stays at parties way more serious than her years because she has no where else to sleep.  
That gets her in a lot more trouble than the streets.  
Her hurt and pain factor grow as the seasons change she knows..soon..they will catch her and away she will go.
Until then she walks the streets in a stolen white dress.  
She wanted to look pretty just in case her mother wanted to spend some time with her, give her some love and confess..she was wrong to blame the little girl who just witnessed and felt the entire mess.
She took the brunt of his illness, of hers too.
Those parents where a special brew


To this day that girl walks the streets to try and find her way
with flashbacks of the white stolen dress..and an empty heart
with no where to bless
I have no shock value
Nothing to dance behind
My sleeves hold no new tricks
What am I going to do!
This is a new treat
With no tricks
I am baffled, stunned
by the wonder of you
I have nothing to hide behind
I do not know what to do!
So I laugh, invite you in
We have some fat to chew
Come here, just come here
so we can smile for a few
I will stop running
You will stop running
and WE can relax
just us two
; )
cause obviously I am nothing shocking
oh but you..yes you are..more shock factor than a vintage car ; )
I miss you
I have no right to
but I miss you
I want to hug you, kiss you
Spend time watching you smile
Cause I miss you
I do not want to
I have no right to
You do not want me to
But I miss you
My missing you
I feel when I breath
Your not mine
I have no right
Missing you is something I fight
I sigh heavy
I cannot lie
Missing you I cannot deny
Absolute Power enters the DRIVE today'
Fitting because lawyers are on the way
Power is as power plays
I am going to show you what for
Kinkos for copies of all your records
Bank for years of transitions
There will be no room for wiggling
You will have to give in, get out
I will take more of your spitting when you shout
Your violence in my face must end.
Oh I have kept a record of all harmful events
Lawyers like that in cases of denial
Or even if we go to trail
I have kept records of all you have done
In the end I will say I have won
No matter the outcome of the law
I won't have to feel hurt, alone and raw
There will be no more hiding myself to protect myself
There will be no more anger as a response to my pain
How selfish, what hell
You never have been present and that is a serious problem
You cannot be, and so I am walking
You do me more harm than good
I do and have loved you, from the 80's til I die
But I am doing you no favors by letting you stay stale old and dry
You need to grow and I do too
So it is time for me to say goodbye to you
You will always be my first love
The one who came to get me
But you never really GOT me
and it is a shame that you click that tv until you lay down
I am nothing but a service provider
Never the source of anything but a frown
I need to be free and smile all the time
Without you disturbing my balance
I know you will miss my talents
But not my body, not my warmth
Not my wit, not my colors
only how your routine is gone
and how I was like your mother
Stop running
I cover my eyes
I cannot
When I stop it will be time to turn you off
To click you away never to be heard from again
in any way
You will leave my sight and never return
it will burn
both of us
I will say goodbye to you
and never look back
I gave you many chances
you always lack
never present
never HERE
You will not miss me
just my services
eat your fear
Cause when I stop running your time will end
I will no longer pretend or try to mend
When I stop running you and I will end
So what your asking is for our end
to happen now
so I will stop running
and the ride is over
go away now
* I will tie my shoes and walk much stronger*
I have no need to keep running from what we both see coming
So right now I stop running
When I panic and think I cannot do this
I think of my time with you
Care free and peaceful
And I turn around my friend
and know I can do this
You'rE an example the Universe sent
Sent to represent
what life can be
After I get through this
It is not complicated
It is very simple
It is also very hard
But simple
Uncomplicated
I can do this
There is an after THIS
A new life awaits if I just jump this one gate
It is not complicated
It is not easy
As you have said
You're here to help guide me through my process
I do the same for you
When I panic and think
This day is too hard
I am reminded of the peace of your yard ; )
All the peaceful pretty flowers
When I panic
You're my calm
And I know I can do this
Moth show me the way
Let me not stray from the path ahead
Thanks to you this butterfly is fed
; )
Thank you for the balance and reality checks
You really are such a blessing
Butterflies within the butterfly fly
I keep trying to deny
Waves of surrender wash over
I smile
Wandering the path
Waving as I stroll
I see you there at the shore
I start to giggle once more
I was on the wrong date
Somehow -like Fate
The wrong date was the right one
You cannot  debate
Got a great connection with you
We have a understanding that is true
This butterflies has butterflies flying
No more cocoon
