Free For My Kids
The dream i have
Is below this earth
Being dragged down
By a man not worth
They way he treated
Me and our kids
Drank our money
Left us on the skids
Home he would come
In his drunken state
As we await
To learn our fate
Our hopeful thoughts
He would fall asleep
Never to rise
Stay in the deep
It's not the thoughts
You share with your kids
To unlove your husband
See him well rid
In loyalty
I stayed up one night
To welcome my husband
To ensure he was alright
But there comes a time
In the craziness of life
As he arrived home this night
He ran out of life
My loving words
Not heard through the drink
In the kitchen he lashes
Bangs my head on the sink
Never again
Will he strike me again
My hands reach for the knife
To end our hell's pain
I strike out
As the blade pierces his heart
The words as he fell
Tears me apart
Where ever i go
You go as well
To the depths with my soul
In eternity hell
For many many months
The nightmares seem real
Trying to escape where he took me
On my throat, his hands feel
In sweat-en soak
My thoughts become clear
No longer this husband
Do my kids or I fear
