My past is seeking me out again
The stupidity of my past ignorance and sin
We'd stay up all night and speak of places we would roam
He moved me far away from home
He moved me away from family and friends
I didn't relize my future was growing dim
I was in love, he kept his demons well hid
If I'd just known some of the things he had did
I soon was pregnant, unable to defend
That's when the beatings begin
I would of ran but there was no where to go
So far from home with a young one in tow
My illusional happy family dissolved
A happy future from me is STILL getting robed
This drunken alcoholic fool
Was particularly cruel
Daily beatings a must
Hands around my throat in disgust
Have him arrested, out the next day
"Boy, ***** will you pay"
Years go by and three children latter
Things are much worse the punishment greater
Can't leave him now, know for a fact he will **** me
He'd bury my body deep, he'd never set me free
Then he would be raising my kids, a terrifying thought
And all of my suffering would of been for naught
One drunken and now cracked up night
He told me to go and I took flight
Raised four kinds on my own
Over 17 year and every 2 or 3 years always making his presence known
He can fill my heart with fear
I seen him today he's in my town..........his near
