Telling myself I don't want you,
As I try letting go of the past...

She had a smile that could light up a room,
But pushed behind the curtain...

I never knew I'd be gone so soon,
Unable to fight back to your cruel ways...

Another beer with a friend,
Not thinking what the future may hold...

I never knew I could feel this way,
Feelings with passion...

Mingled together trying to escape,
Her body was there but her soul lay some where...

My hand trembles,
As I fumble for the knife...

Closing my eyes,
Trying to remember the past...

Another tear runs down her face,
As she tries desperately to cover up the bruises...

A year of grieving,
Not understanding why you had to leave...

The growing belly,
The gentle kicks...

Enemies for so long,
Finally a common ground was found...
