When She Was Thirteen

She was thirteen that time,
when she realized they were all just lies.
The gentle smile of her mother;
the encouraging eyes of her father -

yes, they were all just lies.

She was thirteen that time,
when she realized something was not right.
The big caressing hands of her father;
the sweet sounds he had always uttered -

yes, something was indeed not right.

She was thirteen that time,
when she realized something was not nice.
The dates with strangers of her mother;
the seductive gestures of her to another -

yes, something was really not nice.

She was thirteen that time,
when she realized everything was too much for her.
The father she had respected was a monster;
the mother she had loved was a cheater -

yes, everything was just too much for her.
