A drowned rat,
That wrecked girl looking at me.
Hair pulled to strands,
And she's all alone.
Movements of mine,
Just the same as hers.
Following me, a lost puppy,
Trying to find her way home.
No stage does she have a chance to shine upon,
No place to let her head rest of a night.
Cold and withdrawn,
It's no wonder she felt disowned.
Drugged with who knows what,
She doesn't think normal anymore.
Morphed into a new human,
Wanting to let nothing stop her.
Life's too short to waste,
But it doesn't mean getting smashed.
Mimicking the moves I make,
A mirror, the picture of me.
Re-arranged, but still the same,
She cries I silence, just like me.
Eating scraps of diner tables,
It's her only way to survive.
No light gleams into her heart,
It's all dark and cold.
Phone to call her mother,
With no answer for over three years now.
No one wants to hear from her,
Abandoned and lost, just like me.
No one to hold,
No one to love, that's me.
I give her my hand,
She holds so tight.
A chance to start over,
I give her a push in the right direction.
Looks deceiving, happy and beautiful,
But she's just like me.
Lonely.
