Why cant i forget  and forgive

why is it every time i hear your name

i just want to hide

i thought we had  something

in your arms i  felt safe

like no harm could come to me

little did i know itd be your arms that hurt me

you held me so tenderly after  our son died

then turned around and ripped my heart apart

your words  so rough

your hand  wouldnt have hurt so bad

but still we married

another child we had

i was hoping once he was here

but it wasnt to be

the drinking

the fighting

the bruises

i wanted to yell i wanted to cry

but i held it all in til one day

one day i wanted to die

i looked at the boys

and i knew

it was  either me or you

so out  i threw you

no more i said

but even now

you arent here

i still can hear the words.. feel the pain

is it ever gonna go away

can i ever learn to trust a man again

or as you walked out the door that day..

.....did you take my trust away
