To Him

I looked at our wedding pictures
Though I could hardly see through the tears
The love we vowed for eternity
Lasted only 7 years

I don’t know how you look at yourself
After everything that you’ve done
How you could betray me so fast
Well, I guess , like father, like son

So what I have to hold onto now
Are pictures of a past life
When our love was real and you were strong
And you were proud to call me your wife

I hope you one day you realize
All of the pain you created
And I hope to hear an apology
Even if it is belated

All I asked was for some respect
A little human decency
What I got was a slap in the face
And you walking away with a piece of me

But I am stronger than you know
And I will come out ahead
I will protect our children
While you take a child to bed
