there is desperation in this home
and there is a girl who dreamt of life and beautiful people
a girl who collected love from others hands like seashells on the sand
from wolves disguised as men.
there is desperation in this girl
who saw the good in people instead of the bad
a girl who received I love you’ from people incapable of truly knowing how to love.
there is desperation here
in this place of heaven and hell
we are all searching for love with our hearts instead of our minds.
maybe that’s why the wolves are tearing us apart
using our hearts to get what they want.
there is desperation inside our homes
and there is a desperation inside our souls.
