Lost Soul
(Dorothy Collins)
WHY DIDN'T SHE LEAVE
JUST THINKING BACK IN TIME,
AND YOU CAME€ROSS MY MIND
WONDERING WHY DID YOU STAY
LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER
IF YOU JUST TOOK US AWAY.
HE BEAT YOU BLACK AND BLUE
AND YOU DIDN'T THINK WE HAD A CLUE.
HE WAS ON HEAVY DRUGS, SALING
HIS OWN WIFE, TO DOPE DEALERS AND YOUNG
THUGS,SALING EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE
INCLUDING THE FLOOR RUG
HE CAME HOME LATE ONE NIGHT
TOUCHING ME IN PLACES THAT
JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT
YOU SUPPOSE TO BE MY MOM
YOU JUST STOOD THERE LOOKING AT HIM,
AS IN GIVEN YOUR CONSENT
THAT IT WAS ALRIGHT
WHY IN THE HELL YOU DIDN'T HAVE MY BACK.
INSTEAD YOU
PRETENDED AS IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS GOING ON. BUT EVERY NIGHT
I HEARD YOU SCREAMING,SEEN YOU
FALL DOWN UPON YOUR KNEES
YELLING NOT MY BABIES PLEASE!!
HE PUT US OUT, ON A COLD
WINTERS NIGHT, IN NOTHING BUT OUR
SLEEP WARE. SLAM THE DOOR IN OUR FACE
HE DIDN'T HAVE CARE.
SO WE ALL GATHERED TOGETHER
INSIDE THE SCREEN DOOR...AND HE LOOKS
OUT THE WINDOW..(YELLING)
FREEZE. WHORES!! YET MOMA YOU STILL IGNORE
WE STAYED OUT THERE FOR AT LEAST
TWO HOURS AND A HALF, SHIVERING AND SHAKING
PATIENTLY WAITING, FOR HIM TO OPEN THE
DOOR. FINALLY HE OPEN,HIS EYES WENT TO SCOPING,
I LOOKED IN HIS EYES AND SEEN NOTHING BUT HARM
RAN QUICKLY PASSED HIM TO THE FIRE TO GET WARM.
HE TOOK A BUCKET OF WATER
AND PUT IT OUT.SLAPPED MY MOM IN HER FREEZING FACE
TEARS FILLED OUR EYES...AS WE ALL RAN TO OUR SECRET PLACE.
WE HEARD HER YELL, WE HEARD HER PLEAD, WE EVEN WASHED THE BLOOD SHE BLEED
BUT I JUST DON'T AND NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST LEAVE
