How Was I To Ever Know?Part 1

How was I to ever know? That I only believed that I’d truly was in love with you so Oh how that belief was so real to me Now I see I was only but a fool to believe For years you mostly mistreated me I took you in to my heart, mind, and soul I brought you into my home With a slow swiftness you took over control You took over the role of “daddy” to my little girl The one with whom you’ve single handedly wrecked her world You said you loved me But that was nothing but a lie You said you wanted to marry me So many damn times I couldn’t take it anymore And I said, to you, goodbye You were taking her life And tearing it down Breaking her so she felt hopeless lying on the ground You took my little girls innocence And threw it in her face Now none of what she has lost can ever be replaced Although you gave me two other beautiful children It came with a stiff hefty price Because your soul is dead Your heart cold as ice Not only did you rob her of all that was pure You made me feel I had to give my son up because he wasn’t yours You took and pushed away all my family and friends Your rein of terror just never does seems to end The mind games you played Were horrid and sick You could be loving then snap And turn into a demonic devil that quick You lied to me, hit me, and messed with my mind You tormented, tortured me and cheated on me As you laid by my side
