::KoKo::

Ko-ko was her name
Lying thee game

A crazy teenager
Not in touch with her anger

My help was offered
To be a step-mother

Accepted at first
Then progressed to worse

I loved and I cared
This crazy girl scared

Nothing broke through
She had no clue

That all I longed to do
Was lift her out of the gloom

She spat and she fought
And I gave it back to her
I'm not giving up
She's just like her father

Her father I married
And I see the resemblence
Their fiery spirit
Hardly a difference

When I stopped trying
I felt no peace
I couldn't let go
So I begged on my knees

For her to try harder
And make things more simple
But she was a strong force
An impenetrable temple

The day soon did come
That our paths parted ways
What could I do?
I had no say

For she wasn't mine
Though I thought I could keep her
It didn't last long
She wasn't my daughter
