A love like ours, supposed to be forever
A love like ours was supposed to weather
For better or for worse always spent together
Till death do us part was the endeavor.

I did my part, I was always faithful
Loved you with my all, was always grateful
You loved me with your all and were so playful
Never thought our love would be so painful.

Swore I was the one, you’d never hurt me,
Disdained others who’d hurt their family
I believed I was your one and only
Two decades of lies crashed down upon me.

Couldn’t breathe, body shaking, tears rained down
Pain swelling my heart, felt I would drown
I trusted, I loved, I feel like a clown
Never thought I wouldn’t want you around.

Looking at you, I see all that you did
Looking away, I see all that you hid
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run amid
Chaos inside, regret made it’s bid.

Begging forgiveness, you’re sorry, you said
You didn’t know what was wrong with your head.
Years you’d been faithful, again you’d not tread.
I didn’t feel better, felt bitter instead.

Can’t breathe, catch my breath, wipe tears, think this through
Twenty-three years, are they really adieu?
Can’t eat, can’t sleep, my world has turned blue
I’ve children, we’ve children, don’t know what to do.

A love like ours, supposed to be forever
A love like ours was supposed to weather
For better or for worse always spent together
Till death do us part was the endeavor.

I stay, I plan and I try to regain
Some balance, perspective, seeking to gain
Happiness, forgiveness, trust, love again
Knowing I’m stronger than this world of pain.
