Baby girl, with your head in your hands on the edge of the bed Your body is so precious but you easily give it away Your search for love so incredibly lost and desperate The feeling is a fleeting moment that never seems to stay
I want so much to hold you and tell you what your worth You are far above this world’s diamonds and gold I can’t seem to reach you though Locked away in the darkened cold
The strangers never give you what you really need The touch never can quench your searching thirst So alone and needing some release Your razor smiling back at you …. Does its worst
Your mother’s love abandoned you and sold you to the streets So many men who left your body torn and abused Your little soul is crying out for help From all of the empty substances you used
The little girl who ran away And left her fate to chance Living on the streets of pain To chase the devils dance
I pray that there is mercy in your death For now your pain has ended There is peace for you my friend I pray your soul is mended
The final dance is the loneliest As you say your last goodbyes More precious than all diamonds and gold Finds her peace in soul’s demise
As a child of the system we often befriended other kids with the same problems as us. We grew up together in different foster homes, group homes and juvenile hall. We always found our way back to each other. She killed herself when we were only 14. Her mother used her to pay for drugs from a very young age as a ******* and she was so incredibly broken. I pray that God's mercy will find her in her death and give her the peace she never found in life.
