Forgotten Souls

A mother's love, close enough to touch,
A false front was all it was,
A passion so fake, controlled by the play,
On the darkest of days the daughter was sold away.

A worn heart numb to the pain,
The hopeless tears fall from her face,
Forgotten soul born in a grave,
Fifteen years locked in a cage.
Our daughters are too scared to stop them,
Our sons, what have we taught them?
Have we really strayed this far from love?

Her body enslaved, innocent and underage,
She hopes and she prays for someone to take her away,
Holding her breath waiting to drown,
She's in over her head,
The world is spinning while she is missing from it.

A worn heart numb to the pain,
The hopeless tears fall from her face,
Forgotten soul born in a grave,
Fifteen years locked in a cage.
Our daughters are too scared to stop them,
Our sons, what have we taught them?
Have we really strayed this far from love?

No one to even say goodbye,
She sees no value in her life,
This is not the rise and the fall of the tide,
A pain in the chest and two watering eyes,
Have we really strayed this far from love?
