Done

This life I live is such a mess
Filled with pain, nothing less
Tormented dreams invade my sleep
Forever now my eyes do weep

Nothing seems to ease my pain
Hurt is all I feel I gain
Will there ever be an end
Or come a time my heart can mend

The past has trapped me well and good
I can't escape, I never could
What is to come I fear the most
My heart now home to a nasty host

On my own I now shall be
This is what you've done to me
For 18 years I stood by you
Your faithful wife you thought you knew

Forgiveness now you'll never know
You had your chance, you let it go
So now my love I say goodbye
The life we had was just a lie
