Was It Worth It?

What happens now? Was everything worth it? The angry words that have been said That comes from you being mislead Was it worth all the sacrifices, like giving up your dreams? And all you were trying to do was make the other succeed Was it worth all the bumps and bruises that you would hide or lie about? And the whole time you are filling with doubt Was it worth your children seeing you crying Tell them everything is fine, but all you're doing is lying All these things seem to happen overnight, Never seeming to have the ending light. There are no easy answers and no hope, you feel cursed You hope he sees the damage and he goes back to putting your feelings first You hope you can have the trust and honest back along with the laughter and tenderness he is starting to lack You hope the best friend you had in one another would return And there are no traps or hidden agendas new to learn You hope to talk about the dreams you both wanted at one time Now you hate to even think about tommorow Hope was the one thing that was never borrowed But hope is the thing that has left and betrayed you You feel broken, beat down, nothing but black and blue All this and you wonder why, Was it worth it?
