Never Thought It Would Happen To Me

I loved you with all my heart
And then you went and tore it apart.

At that time I felt that I couldn't live without you
Wondering why, your actions... you didn't think through.

Granted, I kicked you out without hearing your side
But I was hurting so much; I didn't care if you died.

I had a lot of bad thoughts, I am ashamed to admit
There were even a few crimes that I wanted to commit.

But lucky for you I was mature enough to know better
So all my feelings I decided to put into a letter.

I didn't understand how you could cheat on me
And the clues and hints, I was too blind to see.

I never thought I had a problem keeping you satisfied
But never guessed it was her who had your nose open wide.

Honestly with our history, the cheating didn't surprise me
But you did it, out in the open, for everyone to see.

I understand that 9 years is a long time to be with one person
Especially because we were both inexperienced virgins.

But never did I think that you would allow for me to discover
I guess it never occurred to you, to keep it undercover.

What you did, I could not tolerate
But you, my heart, wouldn't allow for me to hate.

For the sake of my child, I had to learn to hide the pain
So at work and in public, from crying, I had to refrain.

This was the first time in my life, that I've ever been alone.
But with God's help, I knew I could make it on my own.

So with my new found experience I began to see
That no man on earth could ever define me.
