The girl

Remember the girl with wistful filled eyes
Who waited and waited on your consent
How she met your refusal.
How she longed for approval.

She heard your threats,
And believed your lies
You who planned her ardent demise.

Remember the girl with the downcast eye
Remember how she’d run to her room to cry
How she tried, and tried to win your support
How she wanted rapport.

She heard your threats,
And believed your lies
You who planned her ardent demise.

Now see the woman,
Oh how she has grown
Beyond your threats, beyond your lies
She’s the one with light filled eyes.

See the woman with love in her heart
She’s conquered her fear
Which you had deprived
No longer a victim. She has survived
