He's Gone!!

I no longer regret The day we first met As now I can truly see Residue of what you left me Not just the knives at my throat Not just the angry words you wrote Or scars on my heart and my soul The nightmares I'm not able to control You left me the loves in my life The children conceived as your wife Your anger and violent ways Those memories may last all my days You no longer control me with fear No longer injure my mind for now it's clear I did all I could to make us work You chose the things to make you a jerk Alcohol and drugs to set you free Though you tried you didn't take my life from me I made the choice to be free thats true To save our children from becoming like you
