Runaway
A sweet young girl, gentle and pure
A love of infinite comforting joy
An inseperable couple, he comforts and cares
An eternal love, shattered in dust

He kisses another with infatuating lust
She witnesses this unholy breaking of trust
Engagement shattered, enraging fury
He beats her senseless, left to die

She looks toward home, but finds the silence
Her father drunken, stoned out cold
Her mother crying, corner hugging
He comes and beats her through the night

At dawn a ticket, in the hand
A denim knapsack on her shoulder
One way ticket across the land
Summer's fading, a wintry night

Wandering aimlessly, lost in hate
cold,
hungry,
tired
and worn,
abandoned,
bruised,
beaten
and torn
She turns the alley and meets her fate

A shrouded figure comes in black
A golden sword in his clutch
He stabs her once, bled and died
An angel comes and takes her home
