Throwing away a happy home

by Cathy   Feb 28, 2007


It started off as a conversation over the phone
but talking turned to yelling and an argument had grown
You got mad for no apparent reason at all
you seemed a little annoyed that I even called
So whats going on with you, why are you always so mad
Does it make you feel good when I'm feeling sad
So after we hung up I decide to talk to you in person instead
hoping to reconcile over everything we said
But it didn't work we just argued even more
and everything that happened after that never happened before
You came outside yelling and hitting me
right in your front yard so everyone can see
I swung at you and hit you right back
trying to defend myself while you hurt me so bad
You even told me things that were hurtful inside
You didn't even answer when I asked you why
I was hurt and in pain, now I have bruises showing on my arms
i look at them and wonder why you put me through harm
What did i do to make you snap the way you did
and you didn't even care you did it in from of the kids
But you know what it changed my whole perspective of you
I know longer feel the way I use to
I didn't deserve what you did to me
and its sad that it took this much for me to see
I just loved you so much I didn't want to let go of you
But now I know thats what I have to do
So when you called apologizing for what you have done
I hung up the phone and the tears begun
I realized I just couldn't forgive you
not after everything you put me through
a person can only take so much and I'm pass the limit
I can't take you back each time you throw a fit
I love you but I deserve much better
and I'm sorry but we can no longer be together
If you loved me you would have never walked out my door
we had everything worth dying for
we had love, a home, and 3 beautiful children to enjoy
2 little girls and a little boy
But I guess when your out with friends doing your own thing
You forgot about the consequence's it would bring
than to abuse me the way that you did
I don't want to live like that, and neither do the kids
So when you say that your sorry I just cant forgive
I'm moving forward because I still have a life to live
and that life would have been with you
but now I'm tired from everything you put me through
so when your down and feeling alone
remember it was you that threw away a happy home
