I bloomed into a flower 
Hoping to see sunshine someday
But you came as a wind that blew me away 
Leaving no trace
When will I ever have a loving embrace?

There were times I longed to hold your hand
But you treated me as if I was from a distant land 
Words you spoke broke no bone of mine
But it did break this little heart 
And I was barely nine.

You hit, abused and yelled
I stood right there with tears welled
There were so many who rose up against me
I thought you?d defend
Sadly you didn?t even pretend.

Years have gone by
All I did was simply cry
Nothing can be undone 
I can no longer run
Someday I hope you'll realize, to you I belong
But it?ll be too late and I?ll be gone.
