Memories and Mistrust
I lay here feeling kicking
Of my precious still inside
I jumped into this cesspit
With my eyes quite open wide
One child already balancing
His future in our hands
I hope this new life brings
Full fruition of my plans
Nine years of bliss existence
Shattered to the core
My man became the addict
Though now he says, no more
With babe in arms I linger
Instincts tell me to run
Chances have been given
I feared this day would come
Daughter made no difference
I held my hopes too high
Three of us must now move on
Can't take another lie
I gave you all my heart
Two children not enough
No more that I can do
To get you off that stuff
We walk away from you my love
Our dreams decay to dust
With family broken all that's left
Are memories and mistrust
