Once Upon a Time
Its done, its over, I have no more left to give,
you've taken every breath that made me want to live.
I am no longer myself,
just some image you take down from your shelf,
whenever you want to play the part
of a loving husband with a caring heart.
I should have know all this from the start,
then right now my world wouldn't be falling apart.
My heart wouldn't feel so much pain,
and I'd know whether I should listen to my brain,
or try to make this work for our daughters sake.
But life with you is no longer a piece of cake.
The words you say cut to the core, and sting like a knife,
is this how a man should be treating his wife?
You think because your the financial provider,
I am supposed to cower to you like a cornered spider.
My soul doesnt bend that way,
my heart will not allow me to stay,
in a place where I can not see the sun,
and my own will cannot be done.
Its ok with you, you dont really want us here,
it'd be better off if we were to just disappear,
and get out of your hair,
we're not welcomed anywhere,
where you or your family reside,
it's just best we step aside.
We'll find our own way, never letting anyone get to close,
because once upon a time the man I loved hurt me the most.
