The Other Side

I woke up today seems like I lost all that I once had The babies crying she isn't here but that's OK

I push my hair back and drive to school there he is reading a book he's got it all you can easily tell by just one look

I pull his head back then the flashback starts. How did this begin?

One step two step she's on the floor one hit two hits she can't take it anymore
she tells me not to speak or I'll get beat too.

To late he drags me to his room and beats me till I can barely breath. Snap back to reality he gives me the same Look She and I gave him.

I throw him back and leave before anyone else joins the scene. The period starts and I find his note. I read everything he wrote.

I throw it away I don't care for what he had to say. Little did I know he'd be gone.

School ends and I didn't come home till ten. The babies crying she's still not home.

I pay the watch and hold Kim real tight maybe when this is over I can pretend like I am all right.

One shot two shots the flashback starts one sip two sip he's yelling at her face. Three shots four shots she's not meeting my gaze.

I hear a shatter and I'm snapped back into reality she smells like liquor and cigarettes and is covered in red. I clean her up and wrap her in blankets.

Rent is coming up so I strap up and kiss Kim goodbye for the night. When will this all be over?
