Little girl run - run away

Little girl running through the woods,

Little girl, running faster than any little girl should,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place.

 

Tears stream,

She begs for this to be a dream,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place.

 

She whimpers and she gasps,

Running so fast,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place.

 

Her hair is matted with blood,

Out of the wounds across her body it floods,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place.

 

Her beautiful blue eyes have turned to ice,

Because of the cruelty of those who were supposed to be nice,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place.

 

They were her family, why was she running away?

Why didn't she go back where she belonged and stay?

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place, don't go back.

 

Her little feet stop on the barren forest floor,

She looked in the stream up ahead and in her face their features she wore,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place, don't go back.

 

The tears and the whimpering ceased,

When she came home, wouldn't her mother be pleased?

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place, please don't go back.

 

Maybe they wouldn't hit her anymore,

Maybe her body wouldn't be so sore,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place, come find me, I'll be your friend,

 

Sluggish feet dragging,

She felt her heart lagging,

Little girl run - run away,

Run from this awful place, come find me, I'll be your friend,

 

She turned to go home,

To the only place she had ever know,

Little girl run - why didn't you run away?

You could have found me, I was calling to you, didn't you hear?

 

A blow to the face was the last thing she saw,

Before the little girl took her final fall,

Little girl run - why did I run away?

I should have stayed with you, you were crying for me, but I gave you to them.

 

An unfit mother I was,

Though you, I will always love,

You never even knew my name,

Now that my baby is gone, I feel such shame.

 

Author's Note

Not very good, but I hope it's okay at least.
