I was so caught up in your web of lies,
I could not see the abuse right before my eyes.
Making me feel like I would be worthless without you,
Caught in your whirlwind not knowing what to do.
I wanted to be everything you needed,
But no matter what I never succeeded.
I was never enough even when I gave it my all,
I even let you dress me as your little doll.
It no longer mattered what I held in my heart,
You would just tear it out and rip it apart.
I tried my hardest and gave it my all,
But your abuse was our ultimate downfall.
You will never admit that your actions were wrong,
So I made the choice that I had to be strong.
Walking away from you was no easy task,
Now every day I am wearing a mask.
My heart is now guarded so it can no longer break,
I have too much to lose and too much at stake.
I will continue to hold my head up high,
Because my love for my girls will never die.
They will forever be my reasons to live,
For them I have endless love to give.
For them I am strong and will always pull through,
They are my guiding lights to always know what to do.
Helping me pick up the pieces of my broken heart,
Putting them back together for a fresh start.
