Went Back (1996)

Foundation was supposed to be built on love.
Reminded by a beautiful, white dove.

I got a cold feelin'--
sittin' back chillin'.

This time it will be different 'cause he promised.
He pays for food and rent.

Common sense left after a hug, a kiss.
Captivated by the things I miss.

Lured back in with a stare.
Turned my head to hide my glare.

Voice within tells the truth.
What are you doing?
This isn't the Book of Ruth!

Untrue, unlike, uncommon--
together out of spite.
That last one like to fight.

Never number one.
Second best 'cause I'm fun.
What have I done?
What have I done?

I got a cold feelin'--
sittin' back chillin'.

This won't end well.
An emotional jail cell,
plans to leave hell.

Nicholl McGuire author of Laboring to Love an Abusive Mate.
