Runaway Love, RunawayA Poem by Voice Inspired by Runaway by Ludacris: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISvMS6s41vY See this poem in video form here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZcug3zLri8 Little Amy is only 10-years-old Trying to figure out why the world is so cold Broken home and broken bones Salty tears and unheard moans Daddy’s little punching bag The girl he likes to hit and drag Mommy’s little drug ticket If she’s in debt she’s forced to fix it Not a place she likes to live Her body and soul they make her give She has nothing left to show She packs her bags, it’s time to go… Runaway love (runaway) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (runaway) Runaway… Runaway love (runaway) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (run away) Runaway… Little Amy is only 16-years-old Trying to figure out why the world is so cold Escaping home she’s now pimped on the streets He takes all her money so she barley eats He has his way with her every night She has learned not to fight He threatens her so she will stay She wants to leave but is there a way? Raped and beaten black and blue She knows there is nothing more that he can do She has nothing left to show She packs her bags, it’s time to go… Runaway love (runaway) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (runaway) Runaway… Runaway love (runaway) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (runaway) Runaway… Little Amy is only 23-years-old Trying to figure out why the world is so cold Escaping the street into a bad marriage Last week he punched her and she had a miscarriage She has two sons under age four Daddy likes to knock them to the floor Amy has nothing left to show She packs their bags it’s time to go… But then little Robby starts to cry He wants to tell his daddy goodbye His father hears and he grabs a knife He runs in the room and stabs his wife Runaway love (runaway) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (runaway) Runaway… Runaway love (runaway) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (runaway) Runaway… Little Andi and Robby are 2 & 3-years-old Trying to figure out why the world is so cold Now Amy’s boys are left all alone Forced to believe hell is a place called home Mommy went to Heaven daddy went to jail He says he didn’t do it, will the system fail? Robby and Andi went to foster care to young to have a choice They and their mother never once had a voice They had been stuck for so long in a cold dark place Never feeling love or the sun on their face Neither of their parents has anything left to show So the boys pack their bags, it’s time to go… Runaway love (runaway) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (runaway) Runaway… Runaway love (run away) Runaway love (runaway, runaway, runaway) Runaway love (runaway) Runaway… You don’t have to run anymore Amy. You’re safe now… Inspired by: Runaway Love by Ludacris
