I married you and thought I knew you quite well

But your temperament shown through and started to swell

I tried to honor the commitments we made

But you're difficult behavior made it all fade

I moved out once and you wanted me back

I came back but you stayed on the same track

I moved out again this time for two days

You said you recognized your irrational ways

I move out again next time for two weeks

You swore your irrationality you were going to tweak

I hoped the third time would be the charm

But you only got worse in my mental alarm

It's now the fourth time you think I would learn

This time for a year and on my own terms

We begin to date and things look better

We talked about buying a house together

I thought I could trust the man that I knew

You prove me wrong and moved her in out of the blue

She's there for a week you then moved her out

You say she's a roommate but I sure have my doubts

We date again and to my shock

You move her back in lock and stock

A month and a half later she's out again

What's wrong with this picture that you are in

You think I'm a yo-yo for your own pleasure

I don't seem to be anything that you treasure

How sad for you you're so miserable inside

I long for the man with that beautiful side

Was it all a façade you used to deceive

No faith in your heart you just don't believe

I loved you so much right from the start

You destroyed our love you tore us apart

Love with your partner should be give-and-take

You can't give your heart there's too much at stake

If your brand new yo-yo makes a return

Sad for her she'll be the one to get burned

I tried to warn you but you wouldn't listen

Your emotional issues are starting to glisten

Your anger's so obvious to everyone you know

They're aware of your issues hidden deep down below

Your insecurities show in your demeanor

You'll never admit your underlying demons

You have a new love and she's not aware

Of the tortures I went thru while under your care

She'll soon see the monster that's hidden within

Your smooth side conceals it until we've moved in

I tried to warn you but you wouldn't listen

You'll never admit your secret condition

You broke my heart you created a hole

You're alone again you're out-of-control

I wanted to help but you decided to cheat

You brought in a new one to keep your deceit

Did she figure it out is she gone from your house

Looks like she left as quiet as a mouse

You keep your heart hidden you think it's sublime

Alone again was not your design

You spoke to my dad and asked for my hand

You said the right things I thought it was grand

You swore to love me for the rest of our life

You asked me to marry and made me your wife

Frustration and anger took over your soul

You've blinded your heart to our ultimate goal

Wife number four is out the door

Wife number five has come into sight

It's sad you think so little of love

Each wife fits you just like a glove

They pay your bills and when you're done

You just move onto another one

I start a new life

I'm no longer a wife

He said I can't communicate

My feelings he would terminate

If I said how I feel

His anger was too real

He will never face

His own angry pace

He blames it on me

When in reality it's he

That blows up at me

You praised me and thanked me for just being me

Then your pattern of behavior  devastates me

Your shallow ways turned around and betrayed

Our beautiful vows that we had made

You can't bring yourself to face your own demons

A condition you suffer that affects your demeanor

You build up a wall to keep us apart

Away from the pain in your own heart

You cheat you betray and you go astray

A predictable pattern of behavior you display

You've done it before you'll do it again

A pattern of behavior that will never end
Teri Bennett Nov 2013
I mourn the man from our beginning

And not the one that you kept hidden.

We came together to share a life forever.

We drifted apart with the temperament that you start.

The torment that you dished I will surely never miss.

I am finally free from your tyranny.

Our separation has become my salvation.

I loved you so much I loved you so dearly

With your promise of love I believed you sincerely

My oblivious mind made me blind to my find

As your mood swings were scary and made me quite wary

Time now to celebrate the escape that I've made

I thank your new love for the distraction she gave

Her oblivious mind thinks she has a great find

Now it's her time to deal with a trap that is real
