I met him on an autumn night,
leaves of brown that dropped from height.
We walked for hours until day,
he wanted more, but what could I say?

I needed him more than he needed me,
the autumn was nearly over and I didn’t feel free.
I left it for a while for trust to be gained,
I felt over powered with being detained.

All I ever wanted was to be loved,
I was at the back of the line, I had been shoved.
He had no respect or the courage to be caring,
He was out of his mind, reckless and daring.

I tried to help for us to get back on track
He only ever wanted to be on the smack.
This was never how I dreamed it to be,
I regret every minute of that walk by the sea.

I now walk with my head held high,
as I was stronger when I left that Guy.
