You were merely 25

Father was three times your size
Mommy couldn't pay the price
When you up and said goodbye

I wasn't there when you were dying
Fast asleep when you were crying
Everybody's still denying
Not Loving you was our crime

Rusty Ruby

You were fragile, we didn't hold you
You were free, we tried to mold you
You were scared, we didn't save you
You were lonely, we didn't own you

I didn't listen, I didn't learn
To Love and harvest all children
You could have been a shining star
Not a casualty of our inner war

You were fragile, we didn't hold you
You were free, we tried to mold you
You were scared, we didn't save you
You were lonely, we didn't own you
