Happily Never After

Just had to get some things off of my chest...

I swear my mother warned me,
Some part of her already knew,
That her beloved daughter's heart,
Would be broken by you.

She promised that you would hurt me,
She promised that i would wear your mark,
She promised that my once light heart,
Would become vast and dark.

I should have listened to her,
Maybe i wouldn't be where i am now,
But those damn eyes and that crooked grin,
Was enough to pull me all the way in.

It was sweet at first..you were the center of my world,
And for once i felt the love i had always longed for,
You lulled me into a sweet dream,
With promises of Happily Ever After.

I was naive...hell i still am,
Cause here i am still standing by you through it all,
Through the hurt and the pain,
I don't know if that makes me strong or extremely dumb.

But this love i have for you is real,
And maybe i can love myself enough for the both of us,
Maybe if i just keep holding on you will finally see,
That I've been here since the start fighting for everything that we could be.

If i have to suffer the blows then let them come,
If you feel the need to humble me in order to feel better of yourself then I'll get down on my knees willingly.
But in the end all i ask is that you see that the woman before you…

The one you’ve hurt..
The one you've kicked at her lowest,
The one that you’ve humiliated..
The same woman that bears your marks..

Is the same one who smiles at you every day. That she is the same woman who caresses your face and whispers “i love you” in your ear while you sleep.
That she is the woman who has walked through hell her whole life and was willing to walk just a bit longer in order for you to finally see her worth..

And if in the end you decide that all you've done is waste your time,
At least know that through it all I only ever wanted the best for you.
