The Thoughts, Feelings, The Life Of Sweetness
Perfect
The perfect marriage in everyone's eyes,
It's what they all thought.
But we knew it was all a lie,
we put up that perfect front.
Everything that happened
was behind closed doors.
for years the fear and bruises,
I hid, but I felt them in my core.
In silence I cried, and prayed
that someday you'd change.
The perfect family everyone thought.
They only saw what we let them see.
Inside our home we yelled, we fought.
Our children,scared,stayed quiet and let it be.
I was always on the losing side
you're tough, you overpowered me.
We sought marriage counseling,
you said you'd change,
but you were set in your ways,
you stayed the same.
I didn't want anyone to know
that our marriage was much less than perfect.
but it was time for me to speak up. That our happy lives you wrecked.
The decision was made and set,
I kicked you out of our home.
Now everyone knows
about my years of pain.
I wonder if you feel ashamed.
It's going to cost you more than you know.
Because saying sorry
for me isn't enough.
Some day i may forgive you,
but I'll never forget.
We won't ever be perfect,
because your promises you never kept.
