Husband, Im Listening

I sat there listening to your words, as you told me Told me, you felt my pain and cried my tears Telling me you missed me, each and every night While I cry, my sad sounds Pouring my heart, releasing my roots Listening and believing your words Until, shadows start coming out the dark Truth, shines upon my rose bush Telling me, your not telling the truth Thunder, keeps hitting my eardrums Trying to show me, you I sat there listening to your words, as you told me Told me, you felt my pain and cried my tears Telling me you missed me, each and every night While I cry, my sad sounds Pouring my heart, releasing my roots Listening and believing your words I opened, my soul and listened I relax my body, and took all the signs Realizing, I'm hurt at the end and destroyed I'm home, suffering from this pain of love While, your out having a good time I'm home losing weight While , your out eating at buffets I'm home, not committing adultery While, your out sinning under our skies Creating more and more lies Not realizing, shadows do come out They come out the dark I sat there listening to your words, as you told me Told me, you felt my pain and cried my tears Telling me you missed me, each and every night While I cry, my sad sounds Pouring my heart, releasing my roots Listening and believing your words I sent you money and cater, from afar Understood, you are my husband Under God, I shall obey Obey , his laws But , who's laws, do I obey When all this sin, is in my skin Ripping me apart Far apart, from the one, I love I sat there listening to his words, as he told me Told me, he felt my pain and cried my tears Telling me, he missed me, each and every night While I cry, my sad sounds Pouring my heart, releasing my roots Listening and believing his words Now! What to do, my mind is so confuse Confuse on walking away or staying I guess, it's not up to you Now , that I know the truth The truth about listening, to your words

This is a great write. I like the way you repeat some of the verses to emphasize the emotional aspects.

Oh Gee! This is so sad. I am sorry that you have to go through all this. I just can't stand a person that lies to me. As they say - the lie stays untill the truth gets there. I say - it is better to have a good divorce, then to have a bad marriage. Many blessings to you. Lucilla

Sad one..Many men and women also are like this..It is not good to be married to someone who does not respect the other person or the marriage vows...Sara
