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
