Who knew one phone call would change my life?
Man out of town reaching out to his ex-wife.
Broke a heart in the process, had to put my family back together.
Who was I to know it wouldn't last forever?
When the dust settled, the pain started there.
Abuse started happening, no deputies cared.
Broken walls, bruises, and screaming at night.
For two little munchkins, it caused such fright!
No good enough for anyone is what I was told.
How could anyone in life, ever be that cold?
Man upstairs, did me no good.
Stairway to heaven is where I stood.
Turned to a drink, to numb each blow.
Reality darkened, time started to slow.
No family to help, secrets kept tight.
Every time I went home, always a fight.
In all ended one day, in the dark hour.
From then things started to go deeply sour.
Legalities occurred, my life in shambles.
Here I sit with no kids, my brain starting to scramble.
How a choice I made could take me here.
With no daughter or son, and finally no beer.
