It will soon be my 2 year anniversary of the day I changed my life
I dedicate this to all those who live or have lived in an abusive relationship
A Loveless Story With A Happy Ending
Long ago I married a boy
Who was just past 24
I had three babies along the way
And then there were no more
There were no more children
There was no more love
There was no more kindness
Just a man who screamed and shoved
I was a girl of 21
Who was mistaken from the start
I offered this boy my everything
He murdered the love in my heart
He murdered all my hope
He murdered all my desires
He murdered my everything
And cast my love into the fire
I was a woman of 52
When I left the abuse behind
Years of pain and suffering
Nearly destroyed body and mind
But I am alive and well
And thriving in my own way
Each day brings me opportunities
To stand up proud and say
You are not my redeemer
You are not my whole life
I am thriving in new love
Thanking God I'm not your wife
