Description
One, two, three
steps down the driveway.
Why do you have to leave…
Going to meet some guys.
"Just celebrate today with me."
"Don't worry" you say, "I won't be home late."
One, two, three a.m.
you stumble through the door.
Screaming, raging, violent...
you've never acted this way before.
I try to run, scared.
You catch me, pin me on the stairs,hands in my hair
then your motionless, you drank too much...
Lights out. For now.
One, two, three:
shoes, coat, door.
"Please just stop."
You going downtown always ends with
you messed up.
"Leave me alone. My life is mine."
"You know this is wrong."
"Would you rather have me lie?"
"No…just please…"
"Look at me I'm fine."
Only because you're minutes away from liquor
and you're already high.
You'll come home and hit me and force your way in
and I'll stay because I love you
for who you were before
and I can't come to hate you for what you have been.
