She Needs

You see her lying there, broken, bleeding.
You wonder what could help her, save her.
And you realize what she needs so desperately.

She needs someone to hold her,
Someone to tell her it's all right.
She needs someone to love her,
Someone to keep her safe each night.
She needs someone to teach her,
Someone to show her a reason to live.
She needs someone to know her,
Someone to see through her fibs.
She needs someone to earn her trust,
Someone she can talk to.
She needs someone to want her,
Someone who'll love her true.

She needs a safe place to rest her head,
Somewhere to finally breathe.
'Else, come morning, she may be dead,
Gone from the world she wanted to leave.
She needs a voice to soothe her to sleep,
A voice singing lullabies.
She needs to find a way to keep
Free of the dark and the lies.
She needs someone to make her warm,
Someone to love her forever.
But she wishes that she hadn't been born,
And it's a shame, for she's clever.

You've seen her lying there, broken, bleeding.
You wondered what could help her, save her.
And you realized what she needed so desperately.
But were you too late?
