The beautiful thing is that
You don't need to worry
You need not fear or cry
The fact of the matter is
The Devil is ONLY
The father of the lie
He's a liar, and that's
what he does best
So when he bothers you
It is only a test.
Remember, it's why, not just the way
Jesus died for you
So please, don't let yourself sway,
He fights for you.
It's not our war
We're only
Collateral damage.
It may not make sense
But it's not ours
to manage

I thought it would be bliss, I never thought about anything falling apart. He was my heart, my forever.
I was so excited every time he walked through the door
I remember his sent, his laugh, his whistle... It sounded like happiness.
The way he embraced me
Made me feel like the only woman in the world.
I just knew he would never hurt me. Did he make me feel safe? Safe was an understatement.
As the years dragged on,
Disagreements arose, issues I thought would be important to him because they were important to me, left him cold. Aloof to me.
His temper grew with each year, it seemed to bring the house down.
The children and I never knew how to walk on those egg shells.
Making too much noise, saying the wrong thing, doing the wrong thing.
Uncomfortability became our life,
Wine became my best friend.
Singing was an outlet I cherished, I would never blow up as long as I could sing.
The separation was the longest and hardest suicide.
The divorce finished me.
