How Was I To Ever Know?Part 2
So how was I to ever know?
What a monster you would become
You raised her as your own
As a dad she loved you
Then you gave my daughter children times two
And turn the two children you and I share in together against me
All because like me she wanted and needed to be free
With all that has taken place you blame only me
Isn’t time you put the reasonability where it should be?
If you look in the mirror that face you see
Is the cause of all the problems and all the damn misery
And now that her and I are away from you
We’re both stronger together
Than you will ever be standing alone
We will fight just as hard
You might as well let go
But we both know you won’t
Wish I knew then what I now do
You’re a monster, a devil, and a freak of nature
For what you’ve done
And in the thinking that everything will work out in your favor
I don’t regret the kids we have together
Nor do I regret my grandkids
They can’t help that they now have one hell of a sorry excuse for a so called father
But I wholeheartedly resent you
No matter how I was to try I can’t go back and change it
Only can we all move forward
You put a damn good game show
I hope the book, at you, is what they throw
I still continue to beat myself up within this for my role
I should’ve seen the signs but didn’t
I should’ve taken her word but at the time couldn’t
But then again
How was I then to ever know?
The real you
