Deadbeat

How can you say I was never there for you!!
When you needed someone to be by you doing the Lord's Work,
did I not try to give you support when there was no one.
When your feet hurt did I not rub them, I cooked for you, cleaned & washed your 
clothes.

I remember the things you don't tell people, 
How did I get the house that you now want to try to kick me out 
because you found another foolish woman to fall for your crap.
Telling her that I'm NOT a good mother when you're the one that's never around 
our three Boys'.

You never take them anywhere, No food in the house for them to eat, 
No clothes or Shoes on their feet.

SO who is the sorry Parent, that sounds like you Revend Smith
how can you sit in church and preach a sermon & leave church and be with 
another woman
other than me your Wife, neglecting all your responsibilities of doing right.  

I know that the things I do in my Life isn't always right,
but I would never play with God in any light.

How can you expect me to have a nice word to say.
All these things I feel like doing you, I wether Not go that way!!

For I have a whole lot of hatred in my Heart, 
that should have never been there from the start.

Pressuring me into marrying you when I wasn't ready,
only so you could look like you did the right thing.

Now our kids' are going through the hell of seeing us fuss.
Begging you for a Divorce- but you don't want to pay for what is yours.

Taking your every penny and spending it on someone else,
leaving us to fend for our self.

Life will go on no matter what hell you keep putting us through,
Everyone is happier being apart form YOU!!
