Analysis of Tears For "The Little Girl"
Oh I cry tears for the little girl
who seems to be trapped. A little
girl that is empty and often unseen.
A little girl that is quite helpless
whether or not you believe. Her cries
go silent but yet seem to scream with
a hunger and mourning and a longing to
be free. The little girl's screams
seem to echo and are etched in her
mind which now seems to be empty
leaving cobwebs behind. Oh I cry tears
for the little girl who seems to be
mournful for the pain she would endure
and the words that were scornful. Oh I
cry tears for the little girl who is
filled with a deep fear. A fear that
would haunt her for the rest of her
life. A fear that is quite stagnant
and sets deep in her sight. Forever
haunting her and possibly
ending her life.
