The Decision

I was once happy with this man because he was my true love and he said he loved me But he caught me on my blind side and did something I've never thought he'd do to me And now I'm in a fight with the same man Because he doesn't understand that I'm doing the best that I can Now I have to face off with him on Wednesday The thought of it makes me sick and brings so much to my head that I just can't say I can't believe this is happening I never thought this man of all would do this to me The day has come And the thought of facing this man has made my mind, body, and soul go numb Now I sit in front of the judge and the jury Worrying and stressing what's going to be read to me As I sit and wait, so many things are going through my head As in if this reading doesn't come out right, I'd rather be dead I look as if I have control of me But I'm nervous, I'm shaky, I'm stressing, and I'm jittery Tear me apart And you'll find out how this man has broken my heart You'll see what's going on inside my mind You'll try to describe, but the words, you won't be able to find I see the man stand I try to hold myself together and be as sane as I can He read what was written Then my feelings revealed and could no longer be hidden I jumped and was filled with joy Because the court let me keep my little boy I grabbed him, hugged him, and told him,'I love you!' He let go of me and said, 'Mom, I love you too!'
