Piercing Charms

I've never been the popular girl
Or the girl with the latest trends
But rather the innocent Perl
Who's mother was a gem

I never went to public school
Or played on any team
Apart from softball at the park
With other girls like me

But as I got a little older
I felt so distant, far away
Maybe its because I moved
Too impossible to stay

So a gypsy soul I carry now
My heart is here and there
Upon my sleeve you'll find it
You'll find it torn and bare

From all the boys who said hello
And left me in my strife
Leaving me so confused
With what is wrong and right

They took my frail body
And placed it in their arms
And I willing let them in
Because of their piercing charms

And then it was over
Another painful regret
Lingering in my mind
Leaving me to fret

Why did I let them in
Thinking they were right
When they said it would be
Different than last night

Why did I let them persuade me
That unprotected sex was no big deal
That a child at this time and age
Would help my heart to heal

Why did I give them everything
My body and my heart
They tore it into pieces
They shattered me from the start

And now I lay here wounded
Feeling desperate for an aid
Or someone just to love me
So I no longer feel afraid

Where, O Lord, have you gone
You once were by my side
Perhaps you still are, God
But I'm simply trying to hide

I don't know what it is, dear Father
I don't know what to do or say
All I know is I need your Truth
Please listen when I pray

And when I choose to spit on You
And push You out of my life
Please, please, please Lord God
Don't cast me from Your sight

I know You'll always love me
No matter what I do
So thank you God, my Father
For making me ever new
