You'd bash the people I adore
Rob me of my last breath and still want more
Were entitled to take me as if I owed you an encore
I was tricked by your love
As my teacher you taught me to hate
My happiness you would violate
My ambitions left at the back gate
I hated your love
You pushed your way into my dreams
Didn't you hear those silent screams?
I wished I could vanish in a puff of smoke
I could not
I'd clench my teeth until they broke
Swallow my pride and finally choke
I wanted to expose you to the rest of the world
I was afraid
Your torture brought you happiness
With your phony facade you'd try to impress
"No sweetheart wear a better dress."
I'd change
Everyone else was so much better than me
You reminded me of that repeatedly
Look in the mirror and what did I see?
Nothing
You hurt my children in unforgivable ways
Berating them day after miserable day
Thought material things would make the pain go away
They can't
We all had to choose you over everyone else
No happiness no sense of self
You were the commander and we your infantry
Pure misery
Hoping to find the strength to escape but could not
I came up with a plan and I gave it all I got
I exposed you to my family and hoped you would rot
And you are
You tried to convince my mother to leave
Your angry demeanor she could not believe
But with your venom and control and inability to deceive
You were finished
You had not a second of remorse
That's why I filed for divorce
Eight years of marriage counseling?
What a joke.
Now you have what you deserve
You've been divorced before, and I'm your third
But you can't hurt me no matter how hard you try
I left you
Now you're out there in the world
Looking for your next Barbie Girl
Someone who you will be able to control
You'll shower her with gifts but rob her of her soul
She will be tricked by your love
