Gwendolyn cried
From the attic
Despite
No one
Questioned her motives or right
Oh sweet love
No one wants you to change
How can we offer
Or even begin to explain
So it went
So it goes
So it happened to be a moment that the
Family knows
Buried
Under septic
And years
Of a storied girl
Wear
The abuse like a badge
Justification for any
Traits
Good or bad
Although it might seem more appealing to
Wait by the water in hand
No one came
Oh sweet love
No one wants you to change
How can we offer
Or even begin to explain
So it went
So it goes
So it happened to be a moment that the
Family knows
Buried
Under septic
And years
Of a storied girl
