I was sitting at a friends house
When a loud knock came from the door
A police officer was standing there
He asked to talk to me..Okay I said and sure

So stepping to the front porch
He took off his hat
Stood for a moment silent
Then apologized right off bat

Slightly puzzled, I just waited
Not sure why he was there
And when he started to speak
My knees buckled, I fell into a chair

He couldn't look me in the eye
When he said they let him go today
And he warned me to be careful
Then turned to walk away

"What happens if he shows up?"
I had to ask before he got to far
"Pray he doesn't have a gun"
Then the cop left in his car

My doors are all locked now
Since they gave him his freedom
Keeping to the shadows
I'm always on the run.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

This is quite a frightening thought BWA.......the way you have written this is very powerful.........it feels lonely and sad
........it is very stark........but well written.

This is a frightening, but undoubtedly all too true account. A difficult subject to deal with, and you did it well.< !signature-->
