I had hopes and I had dreams
What happened to all of those?
They've been misplaced it seems
So my pain I've wrought in prose
I used to be so full of life
I was talented and strong
Now I'm just a sort of wife
My life's gone terribly wrong
I do have joys~ and oh so real
I have my babies to love
If not for them I could not heal
Thanks to God above
I need more than this you see
I've no love~ no respect
That which was truly me
I've lost the will to protect
Every day was hopeful, bright
Every moment cherished.
Gone since he is always right
The light of me has perished
Head held low, eyes downcast
Don't argue. Don't stand up.
Every moment could be your last
Can't I be strong enough?
Hold me close is all I want.
Endearments wouldn't be so bad.
Instead I've looks that burn and haunt
a heart so empty, sad.
Tell me what I have to do
Your reasons so hard to peg
Don't take the little that's left of me
Please don't make me beg
