Dreams Of The Lonely Soul

"All Because Of Him"
I look back upon a girl, age five
With a black front tooth
Inside her everlasting youthful grin
She has long brown hair
Pulled back into a single ponytail
Playing pickle with her older brother and sister
While Daddy watches from the side.
I see this little girl
Grow another year in her adolescence
Sitting on her Daddy's lap crying
Trying to understand 'disease'
Only learning the simple facts
Like Daddy won't be able to play anymore
I watch her cry because of the heartache
That she faces with some disease.
I look back upon a girl, age twelve
With a new excited smile
And her long brown hair
Pulled back in two pigtails
Losing her youth and smile quickly
As a stranger robs her of her innocence
In a park bathroon by the showers.
I observe this angry girl
Grow another year in her maturity
Completely alone with no one to help
With the abscence of her older siblings
One to the Navy, one to jail
Only weighing what an eight year old should weigh
But she is thirteen, fourteen
Finally she changes...almost 'happy'
I look back upon a girl, age sixteen
Who drives too fast and stays with a guy
Who thinks she is fat and not god enough.
I watch this maturing woman
Grow another year closer to adulthood
Falling madly in love with a man
Who loves her for just who she is
Who promises to stay with her forever
And she is finally, undoubtfully happy
With him, a man of twenty-one
Opening up many doors for her.
I look back upon a girl, age eighteen
With many tears in her eyes
And much confusion in her head
She cries every night for her love to come back
But he has broke his promise
And left her forever
But not to another woman, just to another world...
And I watch this woman suffer
But yet healing at the same time
For life is no longer the same
Without him, she is no longer complete...
