Nightmare

I thought he was my dream man
The love of my life
But he turned into a nightmare
I am so glad I'm not his wife.

He swore that he loved me
I trusted what he said
How could I be so stupid
Now all I have is dread.

I feel he was just using me
Until she changed her mind
I should have seen this coming
How could I be so blind.

He wonders why I'm nasty
Why I call him names
What does he expect from me
To treat him the same.

He has a way about him
I don't know what it is
You forgive all he does
A talent that's all his.

The forgiveness in my heart
Is no longer there
He's hurt me for the last time
It's time to get out of here.

Someday he will regret this
His heart will hurt like mine
But I am much stronger
I know I will be just fine.
