where did your little girl go. poem


First its teddy bears and Barbie dolls
then its best friend bracelets and loving school,
playing moms and dad and watching Disney films

It all changes so fast
you'll never know
because it just doesn't last
where did your little girl go

Its crying in the bathroom
and slamming the doors
phone calls all hours
and clothes all over the floor

its lipstick and makeup
and "You're not wearing that"
it's my best friends a bitch,
and Mom do you think I'm getting fat?

It's... there's this boy at school
and I'm smoking because its cool
its mascara and their mobile
they cant live without.

It's broken hearts they're bringing home
its bras and hair dye instead of dolls
its music and gossip all day long
and no matter what, they're right, you're wrong.

It all changes so fast
you'll never know
because it just doesn't last
where did your little girl go

It's passing exams, and packing bags
its off to live away from home
its I'll call if I remember
it's "make sure you're home for Decemeber"

Then it's a man who will never be good enough
its a wedding ring and a house not close enough
but for her its the one
then you're little girls becoming a mom

It all changes so fast
You'll never know
Because it just doesn't last
Where did your little girl go.
