Left to Wonder why


A bright light in an empty room .

A dark abyss in a forgotten womb. 

She once was a baby girl - 

The smile of an angel they looked at her and smiled.

They said she'd be a heart breaker - she'd drive the boys wild. 

But than there was the night. 

A torando struck inside their home. 

She was forever changed .

Daddy turned into a memory and mother a monster - 

and all she had left was a escape from disaster. 

Her friends turned to ghosts and her family turned a blind eye - 

and she was left to wonder why. 

But one night she ceased to wonder. 

One night it was all over. 

One night she was once again free to fly. 

And she left them to wonder.. why ?
