There was a little girl

with an angel face.

she had eye's like the stars

and skin of lace.

She lived in a world of makebelieve.

why couldn't anybody every see?

How she wanted a friends.

who would listen to her,

talk about the world

and how it could have been.

When she looks around,

all she ever sees

is world grown older,

crying for release.

She sits alone,

with her little dolls.

Wondering what would happen

if anything went wrong.

She sleeps down the hall

from parents she used to know.

When she hears them fighting

she doesn't know where to go.

She crawls back into

the world she created,

to escape from the world

that she hated.

All she wanted was a friends

who could know,

but she faces the pain

all alone.

She looks out the window

one rainy after noon,

as her daddy walks away.

The sweet little angel,

with stary eye's,

cries herself to sleep

over hollow goodbyes.

(optional)

All she wanted was a friend

who would listen to her,

and hold her while she cries

all night.
