| The Ex I used to think it was ok When you would come home And start to rant and rave How this and that wasn't done Or how this wasn't right After you calmed down You would say that you were sorry And that you loved me. I used to think it was ok When something didn't suit you You would suddenly lash out And hit me for no reason... Bloody nosed, black eyes, or a broken rib or two. After it was over, it was always the same; You would say that you were sorry, And that you loved me. I used to think it was ok, But it was not ok... I know that now How I was afraid of you... I thought there was no hope...no escape. But there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. I saw that light... And found the courage to escape. Now, I am no longer afraid of you For you have no power over me anymore. I have all the power... The power to believe in me And accept me for me... With all my faults and flaws I am who I am. Thank you for helping me to become the person I am today. Tara Dalton 2002 |
