Any Place but Home

Empty stare, bloodshot eyes
 Cages in fear, silenced cries
 Rape to life violently, heinous crime, infamy
 In her crib, there she lies
 Underneath hateful eyes
 Tempt the mind, plant the seed
 Feed the child, watch it bleed
 And then one day
 The shadows left and sunlight came
 A life in shame, at mother's mercy every day
 Confined and tamed, indoctrinated in His name
 All went away
 As mother now lies in her grave
 She went away, leaving all she knew behind
 Any place but home
 This thought consumed her mind
 On her quest for life
 A man stood young and fair
 Could he be a friend in need
 Someone to hold near
 And as the days went on
 Their love grew strong...
 But the promises and words
 The gentle times of joy
 The gestures done in kindness
 Understanding, soon were gone
 Their words had turned to silent days
 Then to anger and distrust
 His eyes went dark...
 He raped, and they beat her to the ground
 As tears now filled her eyes and blood ran
 From her twisted mouth
 Her life was once more cold
 Just like her childhood memories
 A foul display of destiny...
 The shadows found her once again...
 Lorelei...
 Lorelei...
