Maybe Tomorrow

No one said growing up would be easy
No one said life would be all fun and games
Someone shoulda told you your parents love you unconditionally
That no matter what they say or do, they mean no harm
Yet you fight them like your worst enemies
So only fourteen years old with nowhere to go
You go straight to the loving arms
Of a twenty-one year old
Cause he can do you no harm
Or that’s what you thought
Now you can’t leave him anymore
Cause you think he can’t live without you
But he certainly can, cause he had threatened to kill you
So you do what he wants you to
Praying your parents will find you
Save you from the mess you’ve made
Take you away from the mess you’re in
Maybe tomorrow you’ll be home, just not today
Cause you secretly hope he’ll change
You hope he’ll be the man you met
A long long time ago

 

Little Girl

Lullabies
Sweet goodbyes
Time to let things die
Let it be, let me be

Little girl
Sweetest words
Nothing else matters
Mom and dad, love you too

Why is it so hard to let you go
I’m sorry you’re gone
Under this stone, laying cold
I’m sorry I was wrong

Lullabies
Please don’t die
Your eyes all shut now
So I cry, while you die

Little girl,
Saddest words
You’re all that matters
You and I, we’re a team
Why is it so hard to let you go

I’m sorry you’re gone
All alone now, laying cold
I’m sorry I was wrong
So bye bye little child

Close your eyes
Sleep tight
No more lullabies
Saddest goodbye
My little girl…

 

Ode to Parents

I remember how you used to be
Keeping an eye on me so cautiously
You  used to sing to me everyday
How could I disobey
I was afraid of you
Cause that’s what daughters do
I was born in May
On a beautiful sunny day
I was a gift to you both
If only you then would know
What a pain in the ass I could be
The heartbreaks I would bring the family
We all know what a great fan grandma is of me
And it’s mostly my fault, I believe
No matter her harsh words
I am still your baby girl
You have taught me well, I must say
I turned out to be quite okay
