Little Girl
And so, there he stood, transparentised by the lies that have entangled our lives and brought down
Our Skies.
And through him I see me,
I see a girl I promised not to be
Again, Again, Again
and now it's the end and I'm saying sorry for things for which I have already apologised,
We even tried to compromise, find a way around the sly, deceiving, misleading lies.
But somewhere along the way he lost me,
Unable to be the man I needed him to be,
Worn down by my consistent cruelty.
A cruelty born from love, out of fear,
A cruelty not at all present right here,
A cruelty from within, born from sin and pain and personal gain and now loss.
Lost.
Gone but not forgotten, decomposing not yet rotten and before me lays a new life and I'm just not sure
where I slot in.
Not scared of being alone no more,
He made me strong enough to realise that life alone is worth fighting for.
Alone?
Life alone
is worth fighting for?
And now
toute seule
I realise I am still a little girl trying to be a grown up,
It wasn't easy but now I can own up:
I am just a little girl
