Pity The Runt
This broken life
has too much junk,
my head is soaked,
sinking sunk.
A drowning child,
a worthless runt,
Yesterdays sorrow,today a drunk. -M. Moran
The Will To Fight
The scotch she bought was expensive,
But the courage inside it was free,
It would make sure hate filled eyes was the last thing he would see.
She was quiet and careful loading the gun,
Then opened the bedroom door
And when he turned she shot six times then watched him die on the floor.
When it was over she showered,
Fixed her hair and put on a dress,
While she was picking up her children she could not look a mess.
She started to leave for the children,
But policemen took her away,
When she told them what went on they told her she would pay.
The beatings started a few years back when he got drunk at night,
The man she once thought a prince took away the will to fight.
Two weeks ago the children got loud and he threw one into a door,
That was the night she decided he could not live anymore.
I was on the jury that heard the case listening to all she had done,
The planning she made, the whiskey, and how she got the gun.
Everyone wanted to convict her except myself and one other man,
But we held out, somberly watching as three new lives began. -Billy Rob Hopkins
When she needs me most I just....
Can't save her can't raise her
Can't hold her can't answer
Taken away from my hands away from my protection
Seeing her in pain as the demons torment her perfection
Hook line and sinker
Two and three penetrate her
I can't break loose from these chains
I can't bare to watch the remains
I can't clear my mind from comotion
Running in a dream and its like slow motion
Seeing her in pain as im held back to watch
Seeing them take her for granted with touch
Forcing unwanted love into my lover
My hands held so not even my eyes can coverhas too much junk,
my head is soaked,
sinking sunk.
A drowning child,
a worthless runt,
Yesterdays sorrow,today a drunk. -M. Moran

Her screams cut me like a blade threw butter
Their taunts and harsh words will mutter
Wish i could break loose and free her from this pain of mass proportion
I wish it wasnt like running in a dream and its in slow motion - Shadows Of Your Pain
