I wrote him a letter and asked him to see.

How his mood swings affects his commitment with me

He pulled a 180 in spite of me he had her move in to replace me

His wallet was bare he needs someone with spare

His finances are atrocious because he cannot focus

In time she will see the lies he told of me

Will eventually be the lies he says of she

You think he's a treasure just wait and see

Hook line and sinker you fell just like me

True colors shine through you'll discover it all

So sad to see you'll be the next one to fall

We're just a notch on his belt he can hang on his wall

He's out for himself he won't care at all

You ranted and raved and made her feel bad

She's the best part of me and it made me feel sad

Your self-centered ways wants attention on you

No one else in my life is allowed to shine thru

I made the choice and I left you for her

As her choice was no longer to stay on this earth

You'll never understand the negative I see

My daughter's more important than you'll ever be

My mom was a wonderful person

Codependent on a horrible loser

My stepdad was terribly abusive

He'd sneak in my room and be intrusive

My brothers he beat with a belt

Until they all had big welts

We're young we can't see the loop

Soon in life we will follow suit

I married a man who's verbally abusive

To my daughter his moods were intrusive

Why do I feel so sad

When his behavior was so bad

He would yell and scream

But I held on to a dream

I could help him shine supreme

I found there was no solution

I had to leave his pollution

Time to make a new start

Away from this man with a cold heart

Denial, denial you won't say it's so

A condition you suffer buried deep down below

It affects who you date and who you marry

They don't stay too long they see you as scary

They just gave up but I tried to hang in

You blew up in my face again and again

Can't you see what it is that you do

You hurt the ones that want love you

Can you help some one who's ill

When you know it's not physical

It hides in his oblivious mind

Cleverness making it hard to find

I tried to confront it he won't admit

He knows how to hide behind all his wit

Family and friends don't know how to deal

As his frustrating anger is so hard to feel

Enabled because they cannot cope

He intimidates their need for hope

He has no courage within his own heart

Denial keeps him from falling apart

Unable to admit a possible weakness

It's buried within his own sneakiness

When in reality if he could only see

The more courageous he would be

To face his fears and set himself free
