THIS PAIN IN MY HEART
I RAISED MY DAUGHTER TO UNDERSTAND,
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG,
BUT THEN A BOY CAME ALONG,
TO CHANGE ALL MY TEACHINGS AND THEN...
HE TWISTED THE KNOWLEDGE I GAVE HER,
INTO SOMETHING DANGEROUS AND DARK,
HE IS INTO THINGS THAT WILL CAUSE HER HARM,
ON HER MIND HE HAS LEFT HIS MARK...
SHE SAYS THAT SHE IS IN LOVE WITH HIM,
AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING,
SHE WANTS TO MAKE HER OWN MISTAKES,
BUT THIS ONE WILL BE HER UNDOING...
SHE WON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE,
HE HAS A STRONG HOLD ON HER,
IT ISN'T ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES LOVE,
HE JUST WANTS TO CONTROL HER...
I AM SO AFRAID FOR HER,
AND WORRIED ABOUT HER WELFARE,
I KNOW WITHIN MY HEART,
THAT HER DOWNFALL IS VERY NEAR...
I HAVE TRIED TO WARN HER,
I HAVE SHOWN HER ALL OF THE SIGNS,
ALTHOUGH I KNOW IT IS TIME TO LET HER GO,
AND CUT THE TIES THAT BIND...
BUT HOW DO I LET HER GO,
AND WALK INTO THIS DEN OF ENIQUITY,
HE HAS STOLEN HER HEART AND HER FAITH IN GOD,
HER ABILITY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT...
MY EYES HAVE CRIED A THOUSAND TEARS,
I SIT HERE EMPTY AND LOST,
I FEEL THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO,
SHE WILL GO WITH HIM NO MATTER THE COST...
HER LIFE WILL BE RUINED,
SHE WILL NOT SEE WHAT HE REALLY IS,
A DARK AND CONTROLING LIAR,
A SERVANT OF ALL THAT IS WRONG...
HE HAS TAKEN HER AWAY FROM ME,
MY DAUGHTER, MY REASON FOR LIVING,
HOW CAN I GO ON IN MY LIFE,
KNOWING WHAT IS BEGINNING...
HOW CAN I MAKE HER UNDERSTAND,
WHAT SHE IS DOING IS WRONG,
I WILL BE HERE FOR HER WHEN SHE FALLS,
I WILL HELP HER TO BE STRONG...
WHEN HE USES HER AND THEN THROWS HER AWAY,
AND THIS WILL HAPPEN SOME DAY,
HE WILL HAVE NO MORE USE FOR HER,
WITHOUT THOUGHT HE WILL TOSS HER AWAY...
THIS IS WHEN I COME INTO,
THE PICTURE ONCE AGAIN,
AS HER MOTHER AND FRIEND FOR LIFE,
I WILL RESCUE HER AND TAKE HER BACK IN...
BUT FOR A WHILE I MUST SIT BACK,
AND WATCH HER FALL REALLY HARD,
I JUST CANT IMAGE HOW,
I WILL ENDURE THIS PAIN IN MY HEART.
LOVE,
MOM
