Bailey Staggs

He lives in a cell, all hidden away
While she is out here, living her life, day to day
They share a bond, no one can understand
With guards all around they sit hand in hand
...

Sitting here alone, writing by candlelight
Sometimes wanting to give up the fight
God, please help me to understand
How it is, on my feet I never land
...

Here as I lay all deep in my head
I think of my thoughts that never can be said
Alone and abandoned mangled and used
Trampled on, dismembered beaten and abused
...

Its been a week, since I last seen your face
Tearfully drove that long road, as I left that place
Sometimes, it feels like I'm not really here
I have to force a smile, cannot shed a tear
...

Sometimes, she lies awake, with life on her mind
Never knowing day to day, what lies ahead, what she might find
Some days she's happy, some days depressed
Some days she wonders, is it worth it to finish the rest
...

No matter how hard I try, not to feel
My broken hearts, seems it will never heal
I go about, day by day
Hiding all the things, I really want to say
...

There she sat, in her room all alone
To afraid, to even pick up the phone
Everyone had heard, everyone knew
How she'd been hurt, all she'd been through
...

The lonely days, go by so slow
Sometimes I wonder, "why did you go? "
I try to figure out, why I'm so unlovable
Though I know, I'm not one who is completely stable.
...

Drowning, going down so deep
Let me drift off, to a peaceful sleep
Drowning, I completely refuse to swim
Until I've totally forgotten everything about him
...

Deeper within this heart of mine
Is chaos and pain, of the worst kind
So many years of beatings and abuse
My emotions have never settled in truce
...

My heart hurts so bad
For me, love is not easy
Again, I am lost
...

I may be broken, but I will not fall
No longer will I sit here, wishing you could call
On the floor no longer, will my heart continue to lay
Gonna pick up the pieces, and make the best of today!
...

Where do I go? How do I move on from here?
In the blink of an eye, my world seemed to disappear.

The pain and hurt, too many times I cried today
Through the prison door, I watched my Love walk away
...

The slide the rope over,
Making sure all is in place
They all sit there watching
They cannot stare me in the face
...

So many thoughts running through my head
When, all I really want, is to lay down in my bed

My brain won't shut off this cold, winter night
All I do is sit here, alone by myself and write
...
