Jade

Jade

She should be so ashamed

for all the things she's done

Her dirty knees

tell all her dirty deeds

she walks the street

her nose stuck up

but never looking up

She's got years of abuse and misuse

stacked against her heart

she wears her pain

as scars on her arms

for no one but the whole world to see

She's confused this sex for love

another man in her bed

just another John for the book

taking their money at the door

Poor little girl

In skimpy clothes she things she's cute

but no one wants the town w***e

at Sunday dinner with mom

dancing under red lights

sweating on motel sheets

Once I called her friend

before all the drugs and broken hearts

before life got too fast

and our paths took

a different turn

Before I ran off to get a new start

and she fell off her rocker

skipping town for a strange man

Somewhere deep down I will hold her

remember my little shadow

and the one she use to be

before we became just another

fading memory
