Wishes Aren't Just For The Birds
Broken child
Save her from his grasp
She's been here for a while
She's growing up too fast
Right before our eyes
We see her cowering in fear
Keeping her distance
Not daring to come near
She hides to bruises
With lies over tears
Her hope has been shut down
Over the years
She runs away in the middle of the night
Searching for the that she longs for
She tries to hide inside her mind
Until he comes banging on the door
The blankets cover her face
She pretends she's not awake
But he knows much better
She loses the game
She wakes up bruised
She feels so used
She knows that she has nothing to lose
Broken child
Save her from his grasp
He has a hold of her courage
But she knows that this won't last
Tonight when he is passed out
And her mother is out
The door to her cage is unlocked
She's free to finally step out of the house
But only in her thoughts
