Quiet And Cold

Grief, her sole companion, for many years she tried

Her soul, her heart, drowned in tears of tragedies by night

She knew it would be coming, she'd never sleep again

The shadows would be haunting, as sure as blood in veins

She never spoke a mouthful, she'd never look at you

Always was the quiet type, so no one ever knew

Of how it kept returning, to the place she stayed

Her chastity was dying, with every wound it made

A shroud I need of the darkest night

Sheltering me and mine

Please wash away the pain with time

Warm my soul with light

And bless my feet with a holy might

Leaving the past behind

When hope would come to visit, once in every while

She could stop the strain of thoughts, of how she'd been defiled

And making plans of running, away to far off lands

One day she'd take her life, take it in her own hands

Persuasive ghosts would whisper, please don't go away

Thinking of the life she'd leave, it only made her stay

It kept her in her prison, it tied her up real good

She carved in vain for freedom, like it knew she would

Years of molestation, leaving only pain

Froze the warmth out of her heart, broke her soul and chains

Then, silently she left, without a single word

She took along her baby and that's all we heard
