The girl is a woman. But she is lost Every hour of the day, She waits Works Hopes And only wallflowers Can understand That the stars in her eyes Have diminished The southern boy visits Like he used too He doesnt love her anymore They are broken Yet he shows up Wishing to drag her away At 27 To take her out to sing The songs she used to sing She is frightened of being a burden Knows that more lack of living awaits Tries so hard Sleep eludes or comes without warning To last her for what seems a decade Always tired Mommy loves her As she continues to fail and be failed at life. She attempts She gets better She is worse She is sick paranoia on a hot tin roof With no room of her own But she continues to dream No longer believes In anything Another daddy left her Another daddy left her He was cruel Attachment one sided Mama is going to be single until death The girl, No, Woman awaits the same fate Wants babies Wants love Never enough money Best friends are for special people Lost Lost They are broken Trash on the floor A broken phone No escape Love me as I shatter Watch me have a breakdown "What a brat" the older people say "How ungrateful" The younger ones just smile Carrying on about there lives Children cry Love me as I shatter Never ever Enough
