She Was Gone For Too Long

She was gone

For far too long

Before anyone had the guts to say

"Oh Darling, are you okay?"

She was gone

For far too long

Before anyone wiped the away the tears

And asked, "Sweetheart, what are your fears?"

She was gone

For far too long

Before her parents knew something was wrong,

And said, "Baby Girl, has this been going on long?"

She was gone

For far too long

Before her friends saw the cuts

And asked, "My Dear! Why hadn't you told us?!"

She was gone

For far too long

Before anyone had known they should've cared

And said, "Let me help you, please don't be scared."
