Fear

I wrote this shortly before separating from my ex husband

Time after time I'd wonder are we worth the fight

Even after the heartaches and tears you've seen me cry

I thought it was love keepng me around

Soon I realized it was fear I'd found

So long the fear was loudly heard

Though it never said a word

When I'd try to say goodbye

the fear would be so clear

do what it takes to keep him mear

Tell him you love him and put the blame on you.

Even thought deep down you know its over too

We must say goodbye you said as you walked out of the door

All I could do in that moment is fall to the floor

Night after nigt I's cry myself to sleep replaying everything in my head to see where I was weak.

What did I so wrong

How could I've made it right

Finally realizing fear wanted a fight

I felt so weak and beaten down

Until one night the final tear came down

As the house was sleep and sound

I heard a voice from deep within

saying this is my game to win

So I raised my head, wiped my weary eyes, and found the

strength I needed to survive.

The strength that was there all along

That would help me to move on

Help me to deal with this pain inside

And most of all give me the courage to stand and fight
