A Mother's Loss

from Detained by Jake Lennon

/

lyrics

My poor little girl
all the things I've put you through
what else was I to do
I did it all for you

my poor little girl
how was I supposed to know
that they would have you thrown
into a cell alone

my poor little girl
when you asked them for their help
could they know the loss you felt
as their white hand left it's welt

my poor little girl
just past ten you've met despair
the love that they don't share
makes the future cold and bare

my poor little girl
I have failed to give you hope
for I have lost my own
twisted and ingrown

my poor little girl
you stare with empty eyes
your lips are cracked and dry
your cheeks as cold as ice

my poor little girl
lost without a voice
you proved you had a choice
you've shown where life is poised

my poor little girl
brought from strife to strife
detained and out of sight
a child takes it's life.
