PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Your hair was still dripping
From unexpected rain
I remember
No coat no umbrella
I remember
Your painted face
Dripping off your chin
Your black eyes were running
Showing bruises from him
And I'd try to bring you in
I'd try to give you shelter
But there's nothing you can do
To save me or yourself and

Your eyes were alive
But you felt dead inside
I remember
Your cheek was still tender
I remember
Your tattered dress upon the floor
And dried blood on knuckles from the hole in the door
And I'll try to say I'm sorry
For the things that he did
I know it doesn't matter
Too little too late to begin

With apologies
Come lies
And you know the difference
By the look in your eyes
So ignore the present and try to forget the past
Give up on your dreams for the future
Because they won't last
They won't last.

Your face looked the same
As it looked on our wedding day
I remember
The return to sender
I remember
Apologies refused
From the cheated and abused
And he'll say that he's sorry
For the things that he did
He's a different man now
And for doing you wrong
He'll make it up to you now
By writing this song

I said I was sorry
I'll admit that I lied
You see I'm Dr. Jekyl
And he's Mr. Hyde
So put on your make-up
Tell them all that you fell
Or walk out the door
And run like hell
Run like hell.
