If only
By meadowlea
If only with her I had stayed
None of this would have been played
My kids would have still been the same
Doesn’t matter where I lived they never came
By doing what hubby said and coming home
I left a frightened vulnerable woman alone
Little did I know I would never see her again
They told me when she disappeared, that she had come to Tassie to see me
but where, when, when
Lies, lies, lies, she never left their state
Some guy spilled his guts, now they search for her grave interstate
I wish, I wish I had stayed over there where I was me
We were leaving there, going travelling; we were going to be free
I wish she had got on a plane and came to Tassie to be with me
At least she still be alive, here with me and free
I know it’s not my fault but the guilt I feel anyway
I came home to my broken family and left her there to stay
Now I have nothing but haunting nightmares and memories and a wish
Rest In Peace Glenys

A long time ago my friend Ros was shot by her ex for not letting him have access to their unborn child so I was easily able to understand and feel what my sister felt when the above occurred. Four people charged with Glenys' murder. Will her life only be worth 8 years in prison like Ros' was?
