Her

You kneel in the bath in your sisters blue dress

Mixing tears with your whiskey filled veins

You calm yourself down and settle you down

To be you at least till they're awake

You had your first kiss under green fuelled bliss

With the boy from across the street

You laughed for awhile all while hiding a smile

All you want is just a little love

And the shame of your fast growing stiff

All you want is just a little love

All you need is just to be heard

Remember the time you were maybe

Slathered lipstick across your face

Your gut turned to stone when your dad crossed the room

Red faced with his belt in his grip

All you want is just a little love

And all you need is just to be her

So much hurt

And the darkest

The darkest of words

Unloved

For the longest time

The longest time

The longest time

Well you fought where you can

Stayed your ground raised your hands

Looked for love in all the letters

Of each locker room scam

You loved

Loved

Loved

All you want is just a little love

And all you need is just to be her

She was the sweetest of girls

She was always my daughter

Tears of guilt dripping down their face

The hypocrisy builds with each candlelit moment

For the girl who died for her name
