Just a little girl lost
Stumbling with hands grasping in the dark
Of her gnarled, scarred heart
A glimpse of her you might catch
In the corner of her smile
Despite the wearing of years, underneath lies the child
Who hoped, who dreamed, who laughed with glee
Till the father who held her hand turned away
Leaving her alone, she lost her way
Sorrow became a forest of shadows in her soul
Her eyes dimmed
Sapphire blue bled until it became obsidian
Hardened, jaded, a woman now she stands
Yet if you see a tear fall from her eye
It will banish her crafted disguise
In the crystal drop of sadness will fall
Gracing her blushed cheek
Her true form in clarity speaks
Just a little girl lost
