To Be Loved

People come

And people go

Entering

Leaving behind scars they sow

Blue eyes and a smirk

Was all it took

Just one look

To strip innocence

Turning a girl into prey

Empty promises to stay

That mean nothing today

“Why should I give myself to you”

“Because I love you

I promise always to”

She was far too young to know

That people have motives they don’t show

Turning her back on faith

Long enough to lose her identity

What was left of her sanity

Left alone on her basement floor

Sobs turning her throat sore

Watching him choose to walk the other way

She was used

Broken in two

Left without a clue

About how to put back the pieces of her dirtied youth

Relationships don’t last

Love a part of the past

Walls built high

So he never gets the chance to say goodbye

Too strong to be torn down

The only protection from the sound

Of the words “I love you”
They are anything but true

Lies fed to women

So they can be used

But then they entered

Not one man

But four friends

They didn’t know the scars she held

Didn’t even know her that well

But they met her needs

Heard her plead

Would rather hurt themselves

If it meant easing her pain

If it meant her gain

“Why would you sacrifice your own time

Why would you lay down your own life

So I could have mine”

“Because we love you

We promise always to”
