I said my vows
I promised to be true
We loved so much
It was the right thing to do

I knew something wasn't going right
and before I knew it
Came our first fight.

I just assumed and accused
And in all that
To tell the truth.....you refused

Ponderding back and forth
I just can't take this
I am here pregnant
Pack all of my stuff and I am headed for the door.

I knew you were lying
I knew you were cheating
It was only a matter of time before I stopped believing.

Where are those vows
You and I promised
Wasn't there something in there about you being honest?

This marriage is a hoax
I should of known
After my first choke.

You promised to be true
If I gave you one more chance
You give me chills as if by body was covered in ants.

I am not sure what to expect
But one thing I do know
We need to start with the word...respect.

yes, so true, but one cannot give what one doesn't own?

Written exceptionally well....

I thought I had signed this yesterday..
glad I came back for another read..
Yes, there must be respect in a relationship.

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

Hey all

Thank you so much for the bit of encouragement. My friend and I are going through a rough part right now, so therefore I just kind of put both together.

Definitley from the heart.  I have also been on the opposite end and know where you are coming from.  Stand tall and have courage, believe it or not, there is hope.  Steve.

"Where are those vows
You and I promised

That is where it all starts.  If you don't have honesty there is nothing, it's a facade'.   follow your gut.
