She runs from darkness
To be in the light
She runs from home
To be with a love
An 18-year runaway
Out on the loose
Crying for help
Crying for hope
Waiting for a reply
From a friend
From a love
She sighs…
No hope
No light
No friend
No more love…
“SAVE ME!” she cries
No reply
“WHY?” she asks
No reply
“Why must a ‘No’,
Be everywhere I turn?”
Its true
Its me
A lonely runaway
Left for dead…
