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
