A Torch - Sarge

They left with clothes in disarray

And her on the bed 15 that day

They got her drunk

They never apologised

She kept her mouth shut the way girls should

Tried to decide just where she stood

And i was the only one to see the glowing anger in her eyes

I still wonder what went through her mind

Think she was sick to death of trying to keep quiet

And she bought a box of matches cause this flame was growing brighter every

night

And she took this as a sign

That life was gonna be like this

They get their way you watch it

She’s not the first and she’s probably not the last

Then three more girls talked

Killed any doubt that she had any choice about

A little light inside that told her it was time to take revenge

I still wonder what went through her mind

Think she’d had enough of trying to keep quiet

And she bought a box of matches cause this flame was growing brighter every

night

And it was almost time

I still wonder what went through her mind

When the first spark flew i’d like to think she smiled

And she carried that torch

Cause the stale smell of their sweat still clung to her insides

She didn’t leave until the last flame died
