Run Away Love
Now little Arty's only nine years old
She's tryin to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's alone and has to lie about her family
Daddy's always gone and she never had a real family
.
Part of her is scared and nobody cared
Daddy's in the business fighting in the kitchen
Bringin' home people at different times at night
Startin' with some words and endin' in a fight
.
Comin' in her room when her Momma was out
Tryin' teach a lesson and little Arty says ouch
She tries to stay strong while her daddy beats her
Momma's the only one to help her out, too bad she's locked out
.
Arty's stuck up in this world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is this place called home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back
.
Now little Arty is only ten years old
She's still tryin' to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's got scars and people are scared
Why no one is here to care
.
Screams and hits, leaven more bruises
No one asks questions, when they do she makes up excuses
Bleedin' on the outside, trying to show she's worth more
Only one girl really wants to protect her
.
Her name is Jade and she tries to be her friend
Promised that they'd always be together 'til the end
Until Jade thinks things get too hot
Packed her stuff and left Arty on the spot
.
Now Arty's stuck up in this world on her own
Forced to think that Hell would be better than this home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
Can't take anymore, says she 'bout to run away and never come back
.
Now Arty's 15 she's got her new family
And she's smiling and happy
Got friends and they care
But when they see the scars they can't help but stare
She's consistently reminded about her old life
Sometimes she cuts herself with that knife
She misses that boy, though he wishes he stayed alive
She doesn't want it to be like this, and she doesn't want to live
.
Now Arty's still stuck up in the world on her own
Not knowing if Hell is still that place called home
She got her clothes and packed
She ran away and never looked back
I wrote it! I hope it's good, because I don't really like some of the lines but I think its ok. You can interpret this as a companion for The Runaway or something on its own. And the boy can be whoever you want! I hope I didn't fail too much at staying on the same idea, and that it counts as a Parody/Poem. So please leave a review, they are nice and make me happy! Also you get a cookie if you do! (::) Disclaimer - I own nothing, just the idea to do this, nothing else.
