Pain From The Years

Too many tears pouring down my face
thinking of painful memories wishing to erase
my heart still hurting with every beat
with remembrance of your deceit
Almost ten whole years of my life, was given to only you
I stood by and watched at everything you put me through
For someone to say I love you, you didn't act that way
but I made it my first priority to make sure with you I stayed

We never even got to marry after all these years
instead of a commitment I was given so many tears
After a while you didn't seem to care
I was invisible each time I was standing there
And even though I knew that love had passed me by
living without you, I would have rathered died
when you needed my hand to hold, I took your hand into mine
And when you were feeling down I gave you all my time

But when I asked for the same, it was too much for you to do
instead you abused my heart and soul and away with it you threw
I'm surprised my face isn't stained, with burn marks from all my tears
cause only god knows how much Ive cried after all these years
Living sheltered in my home with my children by my side
you went out with your friends and took with you my pride
Away with my dignity you took full control
but now that things are over again, this is the last time I let you go
