I had no purpose
Then I found you
Beauty on the surface
Holds little truth
We began holding hands
Everything so perfect
We began making plans
A baby came he was worth it
I ran errands
Came to all hospital appointments
Cared for you
Did the nights
Bum changes
Let you sleep in
Take a break I said
Singing to my son
Then one day you changed
One thing, two things, ten things
But darling I told you that I'd do anything
Sex life zero,
your not interested
But you shout at me constant
I don't want to argue
Let's forget all this nonsense
But you don't stop..
Punch!!
Don't retaliate..I couldn't
Kick!!
You can't hit a woman..it's wrong
She then spits in your face!!
"Please just let me walk out"
I don't want to shout
I'm a defeated man
My child looks on
She continues to abuse me
All month long
My mind grows weak
So many slaps to my cheek
I can't tell the police
They would laugh at me
Believe her
Ask me to leave my own home
Even though I've done nothing wrong
I ask her please just leave me alone
Let me pack my bags and go!
But I ain't going anywhere
she burns me!!
The pain makes me snap
So I pushed her back
Gave her a slap
What have I done!
She rings 999
Now my world has turned
A loving father no more
In the eyes of the law
A vicious man
Waiting months
Counting the days
Pain throughout the hours
Tick tock
My prison sentence
The greatest pain
Can't sleep in the night
I just see his face
I shake in the court room
I try and beg please
Let me just hold my baby
Instead in a contact centre
Like it was me that was crazy
I stay an hour before time is called
I say I miss you son
I'd never hurt you I swear!
I go home
Back to reality
You are no longer here
My crime
My biggest mistake
Was that I was born with a penis.
I am a father
Who cries every night
I am a father
And this is my plight.
