Amy...

Erren Kelly

somebody give her a hug
and don’t judge
you don’t know what she
went through today
she grew up faster than
she wanted to
you don’t know about the
scars
on her heart
was the same place where
love once lived
it’s now filled with pills, lies, and
broken promises
jade should be the color a woman
wears on her eyelids
jaded shouldn’t be the way she
feels
but songs can only say so much
she’s not made of sugar and spice, boys
just tattoos, body piercings and swag
she opens her mouth and the sound
of an old black woman comes out
though she’s white as a cotton ball
she stopped being daddy’s girl long ago
when his words became curses
when she realized alcohol and sex
could be the placebo
for salvation
now, the angels will hold her
she’s beyond your judgement
now
and she has one more song to sing
