When you gave him your number.
When he’d call you at night.
When you exchanged sweet messages.
When he told you he loves you
When everyone seemed jealous
When your family and friends
became strangers to you
When you moved in with him
When you fell pregnant

I WASN’T THERE
When tables turned
When he started coming back late from work
When he started drinking heavily
When he denied your child as his
When he started beating you
When you had no one to run to
When he showed you his real self

I WASN’T THERE
When you decided to leave him
When he’d haunt you in your sleep
When he broke the trust you gave him
I WASN’T THERE

I’m sorry
I WASN’T THERE
