My Secret Tears

"Little Girl"

Little girl who's made of stone

How your stare chills me to the bone

Your surface is hard and yet so smooth

You cry in the night and pray to an angel for your heart to sooth.

Little girl who's made of glass

How you have grown up so fast

People see you though, you are transparent

Wishing for this moment to last

Hiding tears from the hours spent.

Little girl who's made of gold

Show no weakness that you hold

Seem so lovely in the lights

Masking scars from previous fights.

Little girls who were so sure

Little girls who were so pure

Hanging on by only a thread

They're in over their pretty little heads
