The Girl

The Girl

For her, murder was the only way.
Otherwise he would stay.
Now guild and fear are all she knows.
She was abused and confused.
Loved by no one.
Hated by everyone.
Saved by no one.
Killed by everyone.
No one to turn to.
No one to love.
Everyone to hate.
Love is all she needs.
Love she will not take.
Everywhere she goes,
Rejection is all she finds.
Now she is looking for
Something she will never find.
Nobody will ever love her for her face.
Nobody will ever love her for her mind.
She will never win this race.
Never.
