Little Girl
by Junemarie RoldanLittle girl, so innocent and pure
Living a life you couldn't endure
You took all the pain and kept it inside
Looking for corners in which you could hide.
Little girl, wanting Daddy's love
Enmeshed in the web that he wove
Knowing it was wrong but feeling it was right
The tears that were shed all alone in the night.
Little girl, the years have been so sad
Looking for something that you've never had
Looking for answers in all the wrong places
Looking for love, but finding just traces.
But now my eyes are open
At long last I can see
Just what it is I have to do
To finally be free.
I'm going to take my life back
For this too is my world
I'm going to have to let you go
My sad eyed little girl.
Too long I've carried you around
Too long I've felt your grief
Too long I've cried without a sound
The pain beyond belief.
But now that I have grown up
I've got to let you go
Goodbye my own sweet little girl
And yes, I love you so.
