Hazard Part II

My mother came to Hazard  
when I was just seven; 
I took off and fled that town,
filled with so many lies.
Now? This boy’s alright…

Two years ago 
when I finally found Mary
she looked so different, 
but still had those broken eyes;
A window to the girl inside…

We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down;
We planned to walk along the river
and run our way out of that town..

No one understood the depth of Mary 
so adored but always walking out 
of school alone; 
She avoided home.
We used to walk to school every morning 
She would always say 
‘All I want is for the kids to stop watching me.’

Now I know she made it to the river,
She cut the chains that had her bound;
I knew she made it off the river 
and ran her way out of this town..


A Tribute to Richard Marx.
