Bad Lady
we drive by the house
I scrunch low
so the bad lady can't see me.
smug - we point out the room
where we stayed 3 days once
hardly getting out of bed
(bad lady was gone)
Oh I remember your face after days
of love making
I know those bedroom walls never saw that face
before
so beautiful, so serene
when you slept it was without worry
without fear
I watched you
I loved you
you started to come back
your eyes cleared
there you were
(bad ladys spell was broken)
your strength became mighty without fear
and living in truth you were able to make your
plan to leave
(how shocked was that bad lady?)
to move forward for yourself
a second chance
a second life
good lord, I never think of it as saving you
but honey
I think I did.
