I agreed to give you my love not my peace
You treated me like a princess til I said I do
Then you changed, your kindness decreased.
Our wedding night was tales of nightmares.
Not full of love, romance or happy moments
No it was one that let me know you didn’t care.
Marriage license was like your ownership paper
Now I am just property nothing more but less
Romance seemed to disappear as a vapor.
Seven long years I tried my best to please you
I took beatings, cursing, abuse in many forms
Never satisfied you tried to hurt the kids too.
I stood in your way though and took their hits.
Determined not to let you harm our children
Kids are grown now and there alone you sit.
I may have taken seven years of your abuse
I enjoy my grandkids now. I love watching them
The kids decided they wanted none of your ruse.
