This life is hard

This life is hard
it wasn't supposed to be this tough
I've taken all the threats I can
I've had to say it's enough.

I can't believe I have even done it
got an injunction on my ex
I can't believe it's come to this
now I'm scared what happens next

I spent 6 years with this guy 
I couldn't have loved him more if I tried
so why am I at the last resort
I'm completely broken inside

I'm scared for the future
a single mum feeling alone
how am I going to do this
but then I go into mum zone

For my baby is my life
and she is what keeps me sane
she wraps me up with a hug and a kiss
and sweeps away the pain

hopefully things will get better
now I have made an important start 
but I'm just not sure if anyone 
will be able to mend my heart.
