I'Ve Known You...
I've known you most of my life.
I was a shy, nieve girl who believed in you, at first . . .
I thought we could never have a problem that I couldn't fix.
If I'd just show you enough love,
you would appreciate life and all it had to give us.
I gave you my body, my soul, my love and my life .
You took it all greedily,
and then asked for more.
So I gave you my dignity, my respect, and my self-esteem.
You accepted it all and asked for more.
So I then handed you my self worth.
When you saw that I had nothing more to give,
you then hit me, bit me, pushed me, strangled me,
you tried to kill me.
I didn't realize that I was already dead inside,
you were just taking care of the rest.
I guess I can say I've known you for most of my death,
and I have to let you go now
because I choose to live.
