I have loved you for so long now
it's hard to believe I live with a furrowed brow.
You were all I ever wanted in a man,
but you make me feel like putting my head in the sand.
We were so happy, carefree, so in love
I thought I flew higher than the dove!
Alas, somewhere down the road we took
something must've snagged you by it's hook.
You said that you still love me as before
why then, am I wanting to run out the door?
I do still love you and glad we gave a life
but to hear the words you say cuts me like a knife.
Every new insult, every harsh and spiteful word
scars my soul and my brain tells me to fly like a bird.
Everyone around me tells me I should leave
but for so long you were every breath I could breathe.
Will my ability to love thus die if I go?
Will my heartache, scarred soul and tears show?
I wish so much our story could have been told
to our children and grandchildren when we're old.
But no one wants to hear of shattered hopes
and broken dreams or of those who lose the ropes.
Our son and I really need to get moving on,
he'll still see you, but his will be a sad song.
I didn't want to have a broken family as others do;
I wanted a love that was strong and true.
I will always love you for the rest of my life,
but understand, I won't live in strife.
