Who Tore My Soul Apart

I forgive you

For all the nasty names you called

All the cold, heartless things you did

I forgive you

For the times you put your hands on me

The many times you threatened you would 

I forgive you 

For making me feel worthless 

All your hate had me feeling so useless 

I forgive you

For all the times you cheated and lied

The nights you left me alone with the babies 

Wondering why as I would cry

I forgive you 

For saying you were going to end my life 

In the end realizing I still wouldn't stay

So you would threaten your own

I forgive you 

For never letting me leave

Constantly using the kids as a trap

All the times you said I was a good mother 

Then changing faces saying I'm not 

I forgive you 

For knowing my past and then using it against me

Never knowing how you could do the same things to me

Now please forgive me 

For saying I love you

I never knew how to love myself 

To love you was an impossible task

I was only a little girl 

Too naive to know the truth 

So tell me now

Who Tore My Soul Apart 

Me or was it you?
