She wanted to take over the world one someday
and make all those motherfuckers pay.
The ones who raped her while she slept.
The ones who into her nightmares they crept.
The ones who gave her herpes.
The ones who stole her slurpee's.
The one who ripped her off.
The one who had that deadly cough.
All the men in all the world.
They all seemed to fuck over this little girl.
They would all get what they wanted
and in their face she never flaunted
but they didn't care for her needs
or the sores she has that occasionally bleeds.
They didn't care about what was to happen
or a care to the life they were sapping.
Hey soul had dark spots we all spoke of
even after we knew she was above.
These things are truly hard to hide
since they seem to fester on the inside
till one day they show on you face
and you think of yourself in disgrace
but it takes someone who live you body and whole
someone you can love in spite of their soul.
So tonight she slept in my arms for the first time
and she forgot all of the ulterior crime.
I felt her tears on my hand
as we watched the rain sweep the land
and opened something that could have been the start
of a warm place deep in her soul.
A place where I could make her loose control
A smile came to her face in the amber moonlight
and for one she felt happy and all right...
