Where Did the Little Girl Go?
"Where did my little girl go?" you once asked me
OH ponder....
"What defines a little girl?" I asked
You told me the last thing anyone contemplating suicide wants to hear
You told me your little girl was the cutest little thing, she was tiny but mighty,
She stood up to anyone for justice, she didn't judge and she only loved
You told me your little girl loved you and didn't have a hated face, she was innocent but that didn't stop her
Nothing did, she wasn't scared of the world and she wore a bright pink bow to prove it
You said your little girl was the best thing that had ever happened to you
You said you were proud and then… you went silent…
"Where did my baby go... .....What happened to you?"
So I answered with the worse response a desperate mother wants to ever hear
She was never mighty, mommy, she was scared
She stood up for everyone hoping someone would stand up for her, no one did
She didn't judge because she wanted the world to see, to really see her
Yes, mommy, she loved deeply and that is what killed her
She was innocent and that is what broke her, mommy, why didn't you tell me the world was so mean… …
She wasn't scared of the world because you didn't warn her
Momma didn't you see…! The bright pink bow was there to cover up my bloody bruise he left me, mommy, why couldn’t you just look at me?
You said your little girl was the best thing that had ever happened to you...but why was,
Mommy, what did I do wrong?
You stopped loving me and started hating me, is sorry not enough
You said you were proud...so now you are not?
"Where did my little girl go? Where did my baby go...? What happened to you?"
I grew up, I understood, and now I am dead
Mommy you should have warned me......
