Finally Free
I remember falling into your deep brown eyes
Time slowed down, as I tried to catch my breath
Not knowing what was behind the mask
Before it tattered away into nothingness
Clinging onto quick and empty promises
Made by a drunken fool in the dead of night
Enveloped in the power you held over me
Dangling hope of the good in you in my face
Spewing incoherent hateful slurs my way
A hand at my throat every single day
Holding me down whenever you pleased
Whispering into my ears to be a "good girl"
Summer turned into Fall turned into Winter turned into Spring
Then one day a surprise fell from the sky
A sweet baby boy with your same beautiful eyes
The pills kept popping, and the alcohol tipped back
You spun more and more off kilter
The trail of crumbs you left behind you
Kept me following far longer than I should have
Until the light burst through the sky
Shining on an escape from your clutches
Finally I am free
