Lost Past, Wandering Present.

Unedited First Draft

Out of every memory and through the veins of a crushed again heart,
A lonely girl looks ahead at the horizon, preparing for her new start.

Her hope has been stripped of all dignity, drowned in her salty tears,
But this little girl promised herself to never give in to her fears.

She'd been lured and coaxed into a paradise facade,
But noticed too late that this place was odd.

A dark force came upon her, stealing through the night,
creeping through the darkness, to keep her from light.

Her happiness barred, the girl had been hurt and abused.
It was not uncommon for her.. so herself she accused.

Not all had been taken from her, for she had self-respect,
Although the others' treatment did lessen the effect.

A promising future awaits for all who are willing to try,
and even a lonely girl can find comfort's not hard to come by.
