Kristen (The Love Lost On A Girl)

I didn't write these. My friend Kristen Winslow did. I arranged them and put them to music. I love them.

A little girl
Shoes untied
Graceless
She sat in that plum tree
Writing down her dreams
Hoping tonight wouldn’t hurt
Bearing the burden

of a secret pain
Lost beneath a raging storm
Wanting so badly to fly away
Eyes that hide it all

She weeps for relief that
Never comes
Each bruise a reminder
Of the love lost on a girl

Cradled the world in her hands
Giving more of herself than she had
Broken by times that forgot

Her innocence taken by the night
She pastes a smile on
Trying so hard to hold onto the good

She weeps for relief that
Never comes
Each bruise a reminder
Of the love lost on a girl

Life breaks her faith
Pieces of childhood
Washed away
Unknown to the rest
She closes those beautiful eyes
And prays morning will bring
A calm silence

She weeps for relief that
Never comes
Each bruise a reminder
Of the love lost on a girl
Of the love lost on a girl

To lose herself in..
