Never Forgotten, Never Again

Debi Fisher

 

Born of great parents

Or so everyone thought

Until the first time I understood

When they fought

 

My Gram tried to help

My aunt tried to shout

And Dad  just told them

Time to get out

 

Mom and Dad always

Did fight

They never heard me cry

Well into the night

 

As I grew older

I'd fight back just like Mom

And then Dad would come

To disturb my calm

 

Slid up the wall

My anger arose

Then I would cry

As he bit the end of my nose

 

I'd swing to hit back

He'd swing twice as hard

To escape all of this

I'd run to the yard

 

He chased my Mom and my sister out

They left when I was just 17

I was there with my brothers

And my father so mean

 

No where to go 

So I did endure

Thinking there never

Would be a cure

 

 

For I met a man

And his mom so sweet

They save my life

And made it complete

 

Now Dad is just old

And regretting his ways

Me, I've forgiven

For the rest of his days

 

Never forgotten

But never again

Abuse is an enemy

Never a friend
