Thinking That.. I met you when I was young thinking that my life has just begun I took your hand thinking that it was only a one night stand When we were together we made a flame thinking that neither was to blame On and off we were apart thinking that we could make a fresh start So many times we were together thinking that it would last forever I gave my heart and soul to you only thinking that I'd never be lonely You took more from me through all the years thinking that it was only tears You hurt me more than words can say thinking that it would go away I always tried to be there for you through thick and thin thinking that there was something within So many nights I'd lay and cry thinking that you'd give it a try Yes, I'll always love you for what we had thinking that it'd never go bad Yes, together we had a child thinking that it'd bring us together mile after mile But since "that day" we've grown away thinking that neither of us could stay So in the end I've learned to run REALIZING that NOW my life's begun!!
Reason for writing:
My ex-boyfriend was very abusive because of his drinking
problem. I met him when I was 15. We were together for 8
years, with the last 5 being abusive. This is the poem I
wrote in December of 1994 after he physically abused me for
the last time. (I finally left him!!)GIRL POWER-those in
abusive relationships find it please before it's too late!
Birth sign: Aries
