My father, my father Why did you leave? Momma did the best she could To raise me But your departure Left a hole in her heart That's as big As the Nile is long Did you leave us To marry The mother of my sister That you fathered mere days After you fathered me? Tell me please Why did you defile me? Callously steal my youth Shatter my innocence Leaving me further scarred Making it impossible To see myself For the treasure that I am? Leaving me susceptible To other abusive relationships Did you care so little? Did you need sex that much? Did you care that It would leave me cringing from A worthy man's tender touch? I want you to... I need you to see The woman that you forced me to be So very prematurely See? You did not break me! I guess I should thank you For what you put me through 'Cause now there are stars in my eyes And someone told me that I shine And I realize That the trash you tried to make me Is a lucky man's prize And as my pen flows My heart now knows That though you deflowered me I'm still a beautiful rose So, thank you Father For leaving me For desecrating me For the little girl lost That again lives within me She's exploring the world Through my wise woman's eyes Relishing the rain And the lightning crashing in the skies And the majestic sunset and The glorious sunrise She now knows her worth Isn't defined between her thighs Father Dearest, thanks again For making me grow up too soon Because the little girl lost Now loves to howl at the moon She loves taking walks On windy afternoons And looks forward to the longer days That come in the month of June... Through little girl lost I've learned to laugh again I've learned to love again I've learned to be free again I've learned to let people in... I've learned that you are forgiven I still love you, Little Girl Lost |
