It is time to face reality
I guess it wasn’t meant to be
It is time we walk away
So each of us is set free.

Set free from the barriers
And the boundaries we hold
Set free from the life
And a heart that is cold.

I can not live in a life
Of broken promises and threats
So I will walk away with dignity
Leaving behind no regrets.

I have tried and tried
To be what I thought he wanted
Yet what he wants and deserves
Has become the evil haunted.

I am obviously not good enough
To be by his side
And I cant waste my life away
Continuing to faithfully hide.

I cannot accept the excuses
That he puts forth each day
I cannot accept the lies
Come what may.

I chose to take a chance one day
Giving up everything I had
I chose to be with a man
That daily makes me sad.

We will never see eye to eye,
Because there is no truth faith want or need
It is his way or highway
So it is time for me to concede.

I cant fight his fight anymore
Inside it is killing me
For he taken me apart piece by piece
And there is no concept of we.

We never existed
As I have learned now
How I ever thought we did
I question and wonder how.

He has destroyed everything in me
My heart and my soul
He has taken away many years
Where I could have been whole.

He is not worth
What is left within me
And he will soon learn
That I will fly free.

He will walk alone
In control of his own life
He will die alone
With never finding a wife.

No one will be by his side
An existence he will eventually feel
For no one will be a slave
And I am going to heal.

I will move on
From the torment of this man
I will seek to learn
From the trauma of his hand.

Never again
Will I open up my heart
To another without first knowing
What sets us apart.

Never again
Will I let anyone in
So they can tear apart my being
And think that they can win.

The heart is the foundation
And if the heart is empty and cold
Then the foundation will rot
And there is no life to be told.

The End
