Everybody wants me, but no one wants to keep me
She cried and wondered why
Her sorrow honed by retreat as she watched the years go by
The blighted dreams of innocent youth now chains both long and strong
She wondered how it happened, why things could go so wrong
The playful, laughing, smiling girl that used to love the play
With fetal curl and curtains drawn now dreads the light of day
This battered beauty cannot see with broken lenses clearly
Abusive husband for years has flown, yet still torments her daily
Rejection, pain, disdain, abuse were hers as years rolled past
Her future furled, her body curled into her fetal past
The future has become her past, they are welded into one
She dreads the light that gives her sight into what she has become
Suitors want her, they want but will not give
They take and take and almost break the fragile will to live
The world outside a nightmare ride, that chills her to the bone
She hides her way and dreads the day and makes her chair her home
Her days are nights, her fear she fights, her morning has no sun
From endless day she hides away, she has no place to run
The only arms that hold her are the chair that traps her form
Huddled there in her prison chair, the only safety that she known
Like a broken mirror piece by piece she gave herself away
She must protect the pieces left, so in her chair she'll stay
The lesson learned from the men concerned, she feels like pocket change
Everyone wants, but no one wants to keep her
Everyone wants her, nobody wants to keep her
