Liberation

Its over

Done

I won’t change my mind

Fifteen years was enough

Your alcoholism

The verbal abuse

The constant fear

The wondering if you would make it home

The depression I suffered from the stress and worry

Never feeling whole or complete

No I can’t do it anymore

I want a divorce

What please stop saying it

No I can’t and won’t

My love for you died so long ago

I am wasting my life away in misery

If I stay I may not be alive tomorrow

The kids need me and I need to be there for them

I have found myself and can stand alone

For once in my life I'm ok

I know what I want and need

And it’s not you

I wish you well

Stop your crying

**** it up and be a man

You did this to yourself

You said you would stop drinking

Another of your lies

So goodbye

Oh and don’t forget you have the kids this weekend.
