From The Heart

My Ordeal

To make you believe
was always my goal
To keep your sweet love
that was out of control.
Please God save us
in vain I did pray
How strange to believe
it's your prayer today
Forsaking all others
my love's remained true
You were blinded by drugs
no love could undo
Above all failures
this one cut very deep
There's countless nights
you deprived me of sleep
It's taken an eternity
to live without you
To find ways of coping
and not to feel so blue
Sometimes the memories
break my poor heart in two
Someday I'll wake up
without longing to be with you
How do I explain to my family and friends
about the way I feel
I never planned to hurt the ones I dearly loved
or have them share in my ordeal
As I was backed into a corner
by emotions stabbing painfully at my brain
You managed to control me
nearly driving me insane
Pushing me to limits,
my soul was slipping into hell
An inner power swept me up to safety
and my life is mine again as you can tell
