You took your vow
Made me yours
To have and to hold
Through sickness and health
...til death do us part...
'I didn't know what I was signing up for! I didnt know I was marrying a drug addict!!'
The vows were lies
So I wasn't the perfect wife, mother
Sorry was all I really was
Life with me was your own personal hell
And many times did you retreat to easier territory
Toss me out like yesterdays garbage
Then you brought me back in
I promised to be better
But the devil inside always got me
I was scared to death to lose you
But the flames of hell begged me to burn
Because, you see, theres a few more things you didn't sign up for
Someone who pushes people away because they are scared to death of betrayal
(Which you showed me many times was a very real thing)
A human being who feels unworthy of any form of happiness or joy
A self-manipulator
One who sometimes questions if they enjoy the pain
Often the answer is yes, and then the earth opens and screams
And the demons do a little dance as they escape
Heading for my life
