A Girl's Tale

I grew up shaded in a town where people still talk

Love's first tremor shakes, innocence begins to stall

Eyes wide open, now everything feels cold

In a world where hearts are traded, and souls are sold

Technology lights up, but deception drags me down

Messages fade to shadows, smiles dissolve into frowns

Never thought I'd be here, police station chair

Telling my story, trying to keep what's fair

He drew blood from my veins, but he can't take control

My soul's my own fortress, beyond the shattered me
