A cycle of misery that tends to repeat,

On about a five year schedule that never defeats.

He will be in my life then suddenly disapear,

this will go on and on for many years.

Where is he off to this time?

Maybe a new family or a new crime.

Drugs took him from me first,

the most recent was the worst.

Alchohol filed him with rage,

and he took it out on children less than teenage.

Off to prison again, but never for long

Makes me wonder if he was really a bad person all along.

I hate him but can never seem to deep in my soul,

still holding love for him that's out of my control.
