On A Journey To The Unknown

I will always believe he warped your mind
Making you believe things just not true
How he did it, I will never ever know
You had a family, who really loved you

I watched mom each day worrying about you
Wondering what she might have done so wrong
To make you turn so far away from us
While you sat there on your precious throne

Were all of the beatings that he gave to you
Worth not having the ones who loved you so
I will never understand why you chose to stay
With a man whose love he never did show

I do not believe a man loves a woman
When all he does is beat her, making her cry
A man like that doesn't have love in his heart
He is just full of nothing but so many lies

You had no reason to put up with his abuse
With a family who loved you more than gold
It has been so long since you turned on us
And, now, mom and dad are growing old

They didn't deserve all of the pain you have caused

it's sad...people change, or stay the same, and I'm glad I got out of my relationship before it really hurt my kids. Good write to express the pain of staying, and being in the middle.

Sue,
It's hard to understand...and so painful besides.
