Piece of the Moon

he was born an unplanned child
Her parents did what they could
As a girl someone used her
In a way no one should
She said nothing for the longest time
She was broken, and so afraid
She shoved the hurt down deep inside
She learned to swallow the pain
They never knew what happened to you
Their little girl, their piece of the moon

She was grown when I met her
With a smile, a body I couldn't fight
There was magic between us
We started to build a life
But she was damaged, and full of fear
I didn't know how much
She lied to me, she broke my trust
I had to let her go
I wish I knew what happened to you
My little girl, my piece of the moon

Time flew by, I heard a few things
She had troubles with the law
She drowned her sorrows in booze and pills
Despair was all she saw
Her pride vanished, her mind got dim
Her spark was gone too soon
She died alone with a needle in her arm
Barren, like a piece of the moon
The reaper knew what happened to you
His little girl, his piece of the moon
