Here is a story of a girl who lost her mind

Splintered and crushed and passed through time

She had no lovers to comfort and to keep her

She had only open veins draining deep and deeper

A little girl played happily with dolls and toys and trains

A car went speeding into Daddy and crushed his little brain

A girl cries out all alone for the mother went at birth

To a place where they say God lives, never to know her daughter on earth

A teenage hellion runs from hell, for that’s the house she’s in

A convent orphan’s child now whose feelings are a sin

She goes so far in a stranger’s car and enters a cruel world

Where God’s forsaken memories are rumors to be scorned

Lovely child for grace begot and left without a care

Lonely piece of flesh and blood, was your bitter life unfair?

Today she wiped her life away with a neat and steady hand

Please forgive me mom and dad, the pain inside was grand

I am at peace as I watch the flowers blowing in the wind

Understand my life was grim and now I am but sand

Drifting free with all that’s here and but a speck of dirt

Which is how we all should be, to save us from the hurt
