Black and Blue

You say you love me, but this is not true. You say you love me, but you beat me until I am black and blue. I know our marriage is over, what about you. You say you love me, but you beat me until I am black and blue. This is not love, it maybe too you, I don't like been beaten until I am black and blue. I am walking out of the door with memories of the many times you knocked me too the floor. I am through with you. You say you love me, but you beat me until I am black and blue. I pray Christ will give me the strength to heal. I pray Christ will give me the strength to forgive.

Don't about calling me Joseph. I also chose to call you Esther!
