As you lay

As you lay dying at my feet
The blood gushing from your wounds
I looked back on the days gone by
The future that was the past
I remembered days of sunshine
Of happiness and joy
Of a shy teenage girl
And a very nervous boy

Those days were the happiest
Tell me, when did it all change?
When did lad become a monster
With his demons he had to fight?
The days they passed so slowly
With every drink and blow
With every bruise and lump
Which I could never show

The drinking it never ended
The abuse, the punches and fights
So many doors to walk into
So many soul destroying days
It got too much my darling
Once too often you did try
I snapped and picked up the sharp knife
I stabbed you, and now, you die
