Cadges Or Chains
it was a clear night
but a storm brud
something had started
it was an ending
life breathing new
a choose
it was to late for one
the poison had
made it way to the heart
one had a taste
one had just started to see
it was a night of tragedy
and of tragedy end
for three children lost there father
but four live could taste freedom
she couldn't take one more strike
one more punch or slap
or angry hateful word
pecking held no more satisfaction
in the late hours of the night
she left without a word
the oldest two where sent to go find her
finding her hiding behind a tree
driving up beside them
he pulled up beside them
stopped the car and opened the door
and said "if your going to take them
you'd mid as well take him to"
but i still remember
running away alone
