so simple and sweet
how charming you are
you traveled all over the world
well educated, creative and sweet
just exactly what I crave
Loving you was easy
your touch was soft
your kisses was electric
My light, my world, we were inseparable
Loving you was easy
When I was down, you cheered me up
You were a realist and I was a dreamer
Opposit attract, I thought
Loving you was easy
Things were great
until I noticed you loved booze more than yourself
alcohol consumed your life
It also took over mine
Loving you got hard.
But I clung on
I took it
I can save you
We can get through this
Loving you got harder.
The booze lead you to abuse
physically and emotionally
My soul was sucked dry
I lost my fire
but I can still do this
I love you
Love doesn't give up
then one day
I found photos.....
Two naked women?
No.
Two naked little girls .
wait...
what...
why....
No.
This can't be true
I can't do this any longer
Who would I be if I stayed with you
Who are you?
Abuse, lies and hurt I took
But this is not okay.
This was no longer just about me.
Letting go was the only choice I had....
Loving you meant nothing if I don't love myself
Because loving myself meant knowing when to walk away
Loving myself meant knowing my worth
Loving myself meant standing my ground.
Thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson
