I'm a Little Teapot 1

I'm a little teapot
I see you sittin' there
Cute face smudged with lipstick
Red ribbon in your hair

A youthful face of twelve
Red hair so soft and fine
Your mother is out with others
And your daddy hasn't the time

I've watched as you'd ask questions
I've heard you when you'd cry
But time was of the essence
It was quicker to tell you lies

No time to love and nurture
No time for a cup of tea
On the counter I'd see your grades
But no one ever asked you why

I see their love lost amidst their hurried way
As they'd scurry out the door
Then you'd pop the cap of snow white crack
Just to even up the score

I want to scream but have no steam
Because I too am left cold
As you rush from my life
As you slump onto the floor!

I listen for your heartbeat
From your body lying there
Your hand clutching a note
From a boy who didn't care

He'd told you, "Your so sweet."
As he stole your youth that day
A boy no one took time to meet
It didn't have to end this way!
