Pray For The Courage

A love once so sweet has slowly turned sour,

and I’m forced to live with in your power….

You say it’s all me but that isn’t true,

remember the saying: “it takes two”…

You get so enraged with such hate in your eyes,

once you loved me and now you despise…

You’re acting crazy and I’m afraid for my life,

I was supposed to become your wife…

Sometimes I feel lucky to be alive,

when beating on me is what you, thrive…

No, matter what I say or do,

I’m always wrong according to you…

So what do I do? I’m so confused,

these past months I’ve been abused…

I thought it would change and so I stayed,

now I’m watching our love slowly fade…

I can’t do a thing my hands are tied,

did my best and honestly tried…

My love is still there deep in my heart,

even though our family is falling apart…

For Brianna’s sake I’m still here,

living a lie always in fear…

Can’t take much more you are hurting me,

I pray for the courage to set myself free…
