You came down all the way by yourself though you were just a little girl I could barely understand what you said but I knew you needed shelter To save you from forgetfulness To give you a sleepful night Had I seen the consequences How could I act any different? (you tell me) Paint peels and earth were your daily bread yet I tried everything to make you one of us I saw you glowing in your fullness You fought over a man then you met the unexpected when you didn't toil for the best thing in your life what do you have to say when it's taken away? Everyone thought you were dead but somehow you're still alive by the way no one could comprehend bags of bones are still hanging but you just don't care (oh why?) Paint peels and earth were your daily bread yet you tried everything to make you one of us you sat like a ghost inside of a rubble of house and there is no trace of beauty once dazzled the village You never ask for help You're not proud, you're just distant You're shut within your hard-earned solitude
