The First Mistake

Letting myself trust you was stupid

             You ran from the house screaming

His drunken ass vengeful

            You left us with the devil

Always running for freedom

            I broke so many fucking windows

My hands hold deep groves

            My blood loss summoned

You would fall weeping at my feet

I got so fucking sick of "I'm sorry "

               You didn't know what sorry was

Cooking beautiful dinners for a worthless pig ,

               Hugging me when it fell apart

You could not part from me

                You followed me lost

I felt burdened with you

                Kimmy still follows my steps

She makes me cry

                 You both made me weep

I was the anchor

           At 13 I became the mother

What would you have done

           Did you ever think

Did you ever wonder about me

I ran away every night

         I would sit by the lake bawling

Asking God so many things

         He never answered

The years fell away

I still runaway

    At fucking 27

If you saw me now

         You would hate me more

Covered in tattoos

Smoking my heart out

Drinking to get back at the fucking man you loved

He can't drink anymore

It will kill him

Can't say I give a shit

When he flat lined on the table

            You know what he heard

The growls of hellhounds

What do you think of that?
