He took everything away from me Even that which I knew I never had
He took my heart, my love and my thoughts
He took my memories of that which was good and
He left me with that which was bad
He took everything away from me
Even that which I never knew I had
He took my courage,my spark, my sass
He took the womanly things about me and
He left me with the meaning of sad
He took my energy and then all I could do was eat
And turn fat
He took everything away from me
Even that which I never knew I had
He took my happy, the plans we made and
The role which I played
He took my laughter and my smile away
He criticised and manipulated me
In every conceivable way
Which made me mad and filled rage
He took everything away from me
Even that which I never knew I had
He took the goal post and placed it somewhere else
He took my creativity and then it became
Dark, cold and lonely like a grave
He took my words and turned it into dust
When he told me he loved me
I could never understand
Because what I had been reduced to was smaller
Than a grain of sand
He took everything away from me
Even that which I never knew I had
But what I am left with is my SPIRIT, HOPE and
God\'s Almighty hand
Knowing that tomorrow I\'ll STAND
I\'ll face the NEW ME and know that
I AM WHO I AM
I\'ll take back that which he took from me
Remembering that no one can ever really take
The Gifts that God has bestowed upon and within me
HE TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME BUT NOW I\'ll TAKE THEM BACK!!
