A few months had passed and your belly grew round
You gave birth to a boy that had us spellbound
A few months went by you had to run to the store
What happened next of why im still unsure
A moment of anger i smacked our two year old
After it happened i wanted to crawl in a hole
I picked her up and I started crying
I called you and told you she hit a drawer, i was lying
The next day a hand mark across her small face
The police were then called and i caught a case
Went to jail, had to move out for a while
I don’t know why i had done that to our child
We talked and we talked and i thought we moved past
I didnt know i had put a hole in your heart that would last
